Nato must be ready for Russia launching an “existential” war against the Baltic states “masked by a blizzard of disinformation”, ambassadors from the three countries have warned.
Writing exclusively for The Sunday Telegraph, the top diplomats to the UK from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania said that Russia could “pivot quickly” from Ukraine to invade the Baltic.
And they said that Vladimir Putin’s brutalisation of Ukraine is evoking the three countries’ “darkest memories” of occupation under Stalin.
The Estonian ambassador Viljar Lubi, the Latvian ambassador Ivita Burmistre, and Lithuania’s charge d’affaire Lina Zigmantaite, wrote the joint article to mark Friday’s 20 year anniversary of their countries acceding to Nato.
The ambassadors said that joining the alliance meant that their nations had never enjoyed “stronger collective security” than today, but “nor have we faced a more daunting threat”.
In a swipe at other European countries who had played down the risk of Russia, they said: “Our warnings about the latent and growing threat from the East were too easily dismissed in some allied capitals.
“We knew then just as we know today that only a collective defence can guarantee security in Europe. We lacked this in the 1930s and paid a heavy price; one that Ukrainians are paying now.”

Fight to the last YouCrayne Male.
That will teach Putin!
Liberal ‘elites’ in NATO are lying ... trying to fool the citizens of Baltic states.
To what end?
Putin doesn’t have the men, equipment or cash to invade any other countries at this time.
There’s a country that claimed it could take a mostly defenseless neighboring country in 3 days, but is still trying 2 years later.
Now this same country is wanting to invade a small neighboring county backed by all the resources NATO can bring to bear.
The Leader of such a country must be a genius.
Here is the revelation: “top diplomats to the UK”
So how much money is the UK paying these diplomats to push this propaganda? The UK is filled with Pravda-like publications, all run by filthy leftest homosexuals.
Russia does not need the Baltics. It does not need those welfare parasites. Getting rid of the Baltic states was a relief to Russia’s treasury. Russia at any time can just punch the nose of those pesky midget states and no one will do anything about it. /spit
"At this time" is why Finland dropped 50 years of neutrality with Russia, and joined NATO realizing all their treaties with Russia were not worth the paper they were written on.
If Ukies have so many male solders why have they not taken back
Russian Speaking territories in YouCraynd that Russia now controls?
When will Ukie Summer Offensive v.2 begin?
And they joined because gullible white liberal elite fools in the United States feel US taxpayers can afford to pay for most of the protection of the world. Hopping on the gravy train...
LOL, sure Russian imperialism is rational and can be satiated. Okay
Putin Ally Predicts Baltic States Will Fall to Russia in 15 Minutes of War-Dec 03, 2023
"State TV pundits on Vladimir Solovyov's show rejoiced that the Russian empire is expanding and expressed their amazement at the 'stupid' Westerners who still can't figure out modern Russia, which has been 'kicking their ass for centuries,'" Davis wrote in a post describing the clip.
Among the panel of guests was Stanislav Krapivnik, a Russian-American military affairs analyst who previously served in the U.S. Army before defecting to Russia in the '90s. At one point, Krapivnik suggested that the Baltic states—the former Soviet Union territories of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—would be the next target of Russia and that they would fall in short order.

True!
Sure, its "white liberal elite" that believe in a strong US military. Okay
Don’t sound like welfare parasites to me !
“....
All three Baltic countries, namely Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, are classified as high-income economies by the World Bank and maintain a very high Human Development Index. The three governments engage in intergovernmental and parliamentary cooperation, and there is frequent cooperation in foreign and security policy, defence, energy, and transportation1. The other countries in the Baltic Sea region, such as Russia and Poland, are now considered to have economies that are in the post-socialist stage and are contributing to the European economy as a whole. ...”
Home of the medieval Hanseatic League therefore a Western orientation with trade, and industry. The only time they were welfare parasites was under Soviet\Russian control.
We don’t have a strong military now. We have a silly WOKE military that citizens don’t want to join or support.
Silly because the one country OUR military NEEDS to protect is the United States of America. Over 9 million invaders have crossed our borders since Biden was elected. Millions of them military aged single men.
Now NATO wants us to defend people half a world away? And our idiot ‘leaders’ support that? Gimme a break. First you protect your own family.
1-Ukraine cannot advance without a counter to Russian attack helicopters and ground attack planes- F16's
2-Ukraine needs military hardware, its fighting the #2 military force in the world. 31 Abrams sent to fight in a 600 mile front is a joke
Yes, we have problems with wokeness, but the US military is without doubt the most powerful military in the world. Whether it stays that way is another matter.
Zeeper in Jan:
Russia is a hollowed out shell, Putin is drafting 8 year olds to 80 year olds as cannon fodder. Can’t even bury the dead there are so many millions of them. They are so short of weapons they are attacking with shovels.
Zeeper in April: WARNING PREPARE FOR PUTIN WAR MACHINE TO ROLL OVER BALTIC STATES THEN ALL EUROPE
(Its April 1)
NATO Troops stationed (oh, on annual Exercise) in Poland and at most of the military bases at this moment.
Poland breaks European Treaty on unilaterial deployment of soldiers outside their national boarders - clearing the way for Western Ukraine.
Putin warns he will strike planes taking off and landing who attack Russian forces or Russia anywhere they exist (The F16 Airfield was blown up a week ago, along with the command center, all the parts and inventory for the aircraft,and all the fuel storage nearby).
Germany tells Macron that NATO Art 5 will not save them or be triggered if France sends troops to Ukraine. Cited Putin warning to attack those fighting Russia wherever they exist.
Polish Troops participating in NATO exercise begin to disengage for deployment to Ukraine.
Poland will become a party to the war and be attacked if they use their troops and/or airfields. NATO has about 60,000 troops in Poland to ensure they can trigger Article 5 if Russia retaliates.
Romania offers Ukriane her Airfields for the stationing of F16s for combat operations. NATO sends troops to airfields.
Looks like NATO is pushing Putin on his claim to attack enemy aircraft wherever they exist, land, take off.
What a bunch of BS! Russia’s military adventure into Ukraine has drained their military resources to a limit to where it’s questionable if they can win that war.
And these clowns expect Russia to invade more countries? They are no longer the powerful Soviet Union, rather a country using the aged military leavings of that long ago trashed empire.
Russia’s biggest threat is their nuclear arsenal and hyper sonic missiles. If these western war lords keep poking the bear, we all might get a taste of a nuclear war. NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS THAT!!!
“Recapturing” the Baltic States has long been a dream of Putin, he wants to re-create the ol’ evil Soviet union
But he can’t, because this Ukraine thing has him still bogged-down ... thus, the desperate campaign of lies & propaganda by his minions to get Ukraine to surrender
