The warnings are the latest in a series of alarms from leaders along NATO's eastern flank
Russia is planning attacks on critical infrastructure in the Baltic states or Poland, the presidents of Lithuania and Latvia warned on Wednesday, citing intelligence reports.
“We are talking about energy and transport infrastructure….facilities where damage could…disrupt the functioning of the entire energy system,” Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said at a joint press conference in Vilnius with his Latvian counterpart, Edgars Rinkevics.
“This planning is taking place at the highest level, effectively in Moscow,” he added.
Rinkevics warned that the Baltic region – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which, like Poland, are all EU and NATO members – must be prepared for provocative actions by Russia as it seeks to “test” the alliance’s mutual defence pact amid its war in Ukraine.
