- Baltic countries are facing intensifying Russian hybrid warfare threats.
- Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are strong supporters of Ukraine.
- Officials in these nations have repeatedly raised concerns about Russian hybrid warfare operations.
The three Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have been at the forefront of the conflict between the West and Russia since the latter’s invasion of Ukraine.
Staunch supporters of Ukraine, they – along with Denmark – have given the most aid to Kyiv in relation to their GDP and have been pushing for strict sanctions on Moscow.
Although they are members of NATO and the EU, the Baltics are in a precarious position. Bordering Russia or its ally Belarus, they are small and were part of the Soviet Union until its collapse. Furthermore, over 20% of the population of Estonia and Latvia and 5% of Lithuania are ethnically Russian.
