Baltic governments reject imminence of Russian attack, but bet on prevention

Euronews Portugal31 August 2026 at 18:02

Baltic governments reject the idea that there is an imminent Russian attack, despite recent warnings from Western leaders about this possibility. Military and political officials from NATO's eastern flank state they have not detected concrete signs indicating imminent aggression by Russia.

However, these same officials acknowledge that Moscow may intensify its sabotage actions and provocations in Europe. The Baltic countries are reinforcing their defensive capabilities as a preventive measure, preparing for different scenarios of tension with Russia.

This positioning comes in a context of intense debates among Western allies about the level of threat represented by Russia. While some Western leaders have warned of a possible escalation, the governments of the Baltic region are adopting a more cautious stance, focusing on military preparation rather than alarmist predictions.
