(Reuters) - Russia would not invade NATO as it has too many complications with the fighting in Ukraine, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze said in an interview at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York.

"What you're asking is whether I'm afraid Russia would invade NATO. No I don't think Russia would do that because that would mean a lot more complications than it already has in Ukraine", she said.
