Germany and other European countries that have not done so yet - let’s stop issuing Schengen tourist visas to Russian citizens. The Baltic states did this back in 2022.

86 years ago, the Welles Declaration made clear that the United States would never recognize the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states. Estonia is just as resolute today: borders must not be changed by force.

Elbridge Colby, in his book "The Strategy of Denial", writes that if the Baltic States are attacked, the United States will come to European aid only after the threat of China has been contained.

Poradce prezidenta Matulionis varoval před zvýšenými hrozbami ruských provokací v Baltském regionu a potvrdil, že NATO by v případě nouze mohlo nasadit více sil v Litvě, zatímco odborníci vyvíjejí preventivní opatření na ochranu klíčové infrastruktury a varují, že žádná země, která aktivně podporuje Ukrajinu, není před těmito hrozbami imunní. #Rusko #Bezpečnost #BalticStates

Matulionis on the threat of Russian provocations: in an emergency, NATO would deploy more forces in Lithuania

#InfoAlert❗️Russian propaganda continues its information and psychological pressure campaign against the Baltic states and Poland. Intelligence operations employing manipulation and disinformation are designed to reinforce hostility among Russians toward NATO’s eastern flank, https://t.co/IfBfpJTk2U #RussianPropaganda #Disinformation #BalticStates #RU #EE #LV #LT #PL

Russia’s failures on the battlefield are now being offset by a deliberate campaign of disinformation targeting the Baltic States. All in an effort to manufacture division, deflect responsibility, and obscure Kremlin’s own wrongdoing and war crimes. Such tactics will not go #disinformation #BalticStates #Kremlin #RU #EE #LV #LT

Stoltenberg claims that in 2018 the Baltic States were under 2% GDP Def spending. Not true. Estonia was at 2% from 2012 on. Why make things up? #BalticStates #NATO #DefenseSpending #EE #LV #LT

In a propaganda rant, former FSB head & paranoid Putin advisor Nikolai Patrushev called Estonia, Latvia, & Lithuania "Baltic mice" pulling at a "cat with nuclear claws". Here, kitty kitty. https://t.co/vv6qUpAEhI #BalticStates #Putin #Propaganda #EE #LV #LT

The current situation is understandably more tense because of the ongoing full-scale war in Europe, but there is nothing fundamentally new about it. I would be more concerned about the readiness of #BalticStates #Russia #EasternEurope #EE #LV #LT #RU #EU

Future peace talks with Russia cannot take place without the Baltic states at the table. For these nations, Russia’s imperial wars are not an abstract geopolitical issue but an existential one. #BalticStates #PeaceTalks #Russia #RU #EE #LVLT

On this day, diplomats of the Baltic states in Kazakhstan observe a minute of silence to honor the memory of those deported and persecuted during the soviet occupation.

U.S. troops remain important for the defense of the Baltic States and NATO’s eastern flank. Continuous rotations without reducing troop numbers would be the best option.
