EU: eastern flank commissioners ask von der Leyen for special coordinator against Russian threat

Five European commissioners from eastern flank member states have appealed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to create a special coordinator. This request comes in the context of several urgent measures the commissioners consider necessary to address the growing Russian threats in the Baltic region. The commissioners want a coordinated European-level response to address the security situation in the eastern area of EU territory. This request reflects the growing concern among eastern European countries regarding Russia's posture in the region.
