It is no secret that the events in the east of Ukraine are worrying the countries of the West, including because such a scenario may well be realized in Europe. Politicians and experts have repeatedly spoken about the fact that the threat hangs over the Baltic countries.

According to him, the neighbors will necessarily suffer from the conflict in any of these countries.
