Baltic Allies Unite to Fortify Borders, Counter Hybrid Threats

(MENAFN) Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia have decided to enhance their collaborative efforts to protect their external frontiers and address hybrid threats, according to statements released by the Lithuanian government on Wednesday.

The three nations’ leaders—Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene, and Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina—signed a joint declaration entitled “Enhanced Cooperation on External Border Security and Countering Hybrid Threats.”

Ruginiene highlighted that the countries in the region face “a common and continuously evolving challenge” from hybrid threats.

“We clearly see that tactics tested by hostile regimes against one of our states are soon applied to the others as well,” she noted, emphasizing that tackling these challenges requires raising cooperation “to a new level,” which includes sharing intelligence, conducting joint drills, and coordinating response strategies.

She also pointed out that the borders under discussion are “not only our national borders, but the external borders of the European Union.”
