WP: Baltic countries and Poland asked to deploy more NATO forces on their territory

“The Baltic countries and Poland are demanding a significant expansion of their military presence on their territory and new capabilities, such as air defenses, that would help significantly complicate a potential Russian invasion,” the material says.

It is noted that a number of members of the alliance, in particular France and Italy, express doubts about Russia's ability to pose a real threat to the allies in the future.

Earlier, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said that the country's authorities proposed to expand NATO's presence in the Baltic region.

Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics noted that the Baltic Sea is becoming a NATO territory.
