Poland, Latvia, Lithuania to Bolster Border Security
(MENAFN) Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia have formalized a trilateral agreement to bolster border security and combat hybrid threats along the European Union's eastern flank, the Lithuanian government announced Wednesday.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene, and Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina signed a joint declaration titled "Enhanced Cooperation on External Border Security and Countering Hybrid Threats" — a move signaling growing alarm among Baltic and Central European nations over destabilization tactics linked to hostile foreign actors.
Ruginiene warned that the three nations are confronting "a common and continuously evolving challenge" posed by hybrid warfare, stressing the urgency of a unified regional response.
"We clearly see that tactics tested by hostile regimes against one of our states are soon applied to the others as well," she said, calling for cooperation to move "to a new level," encompassing intelligence sharing, joint military exercises, and coordinated response mechanisms.
The Lithuanian premier was unequivocal about the broader stakes involved, emphasizing that the territories in question are "not only our national borders, but the external borders of the European Union" — framing the pact as a matter of collective European security rather than national interest alone.
The agreement comes amid sustained pressure on NATO's eastern members, where instrumentalized migration, cyberattacks, and disinformation campaigns have been repeatedly attributed to state-sponsored interference.
