Baltic States and Poland to strengthen NATO and eastern EU borders and airspace defenses

“The national armed forces have deployed additional air defense units in Latgale, strengthening both airspace surveillance and strike capabilities. We are facing real threats from Russia and drone challenges are our new reality. Therefore, the countries of the Baltic region jointly encourage the NATO alliances to implement the previously adopted general decisions to strengthen the alliance’s external borders, including the airfield”, said Spruds after the meeting.
