拉脱维亚总理安德里斯·卡尔贝格斯表示，欧洲应封锁俄罗斯谷物通过波罗的海港口的过境，因为这可能迫使莫斯科寻求开放黑海贸易的方式。
Europe should block the transit of Russian grain through Baltic ports as that may force Moscow seek ways to open trading on the Black Sea, Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said.
俄罗斯和乌克兰互相攻击对方在黑海的港口、码头和航运基础设施，导致谷物等关键商品出口大幅下降。莫斯科通过铁路将部分谷物运往拉脱维亚和立陶宛港口，引发波罗的海国家批评，这些国家都是欧盟和北约成员。
Russia and Ukraine have attacked each other’s ports, terminals and shipping infrastructure in the Black Sea, sharply cutting exports of key commodities such as grain. Moscow has diverted some of these grain shipments to Latvian and Lithuanian ports over rail, sparking criticism in the Baltic countries, which are European Union and NATO members.
“我们需要施加正确的压力，让俄罗斯明白，他们需要自己开放黑海，”卡尔贝格斯周五在布鲁塞尔接受采访时表示。乌克兰需要能够出售谷物，以部分填补今冬面临的融资缺口，他补充道。
“It’s needed that we put the right pressure in order for Russia to understand that they need themselves to open the Black Sea,” Kulbergs said in an interview in Brussels on Friday. Ukraine needs to be able to sell its grain, to partly fill in the financing gap its facing this winter, he added.
卡尔贝格斯表示，波罗的海国家的单边行动会带来诉讼风险，并加入爱沙尼亚和立陶宛呼吁欧盟实施禁令。
Kulbergs said unilateral actions by the Baltic countries raised litigation risks and joined calls of Estonia and Lithuania for an EU ban.
“这符合我们所有人的利益，”他说。“我们现在谈论的是资金和对乌克兰的支持，他们今冬需要这些。”
“It’s in all of our interests,” he said. “We’re now talking about money and support for Ukraine, which they need this winter.
