Moscow's Next Target? How the Baltic States Are Resisting Russian Threats - UATV English
The Baltic states are under siege from Russian hybrid warfare. From drone incursions to disinformation campaigns, Moscow is testing the region’s resilience. Latvia has now authorized its military to shoot down Russian drones, while Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland are taking drastic measures to bolster their security.
