Czy Rosja zaatakuje kraje bałtyckie? [BLISKI ŚWIAT]

Could Russia attack the Baltic states? How are Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia preparing for potential threats? And what role do Poland and NATO play in the region's security? In the "Middle World" podcast, Karolina Wójcicka speaks with Bartosz Chmielewski from the Center for Eastern Studies about the security situation in the Baltic Sea region, Russian hybrid activities, and public sentiment in countries bordering Russia. In the interview, she discusses: • Is a Russian attack on the Baltic states realistic? • Why experts speak more often of hybrid warfare than of an all-out invasion? • How Russia uses provocations in airspace? • The significance of drone incidents in Latvia? • How the Baltic states are responding to migratory pressures and threats from Moscow? • Are concerns about US and NATO involvement justified? • Why is Lithuania particularly concerned about the policies of the Donald Trump administration? • How do residents of the region perceive the threat of war? The expert emphasizes that the Baltic states have been preparing for various threat scenarios from Russia for years. At the same time, he points out that actions below the threshold of war – provocations, psychological pressure, or hybrid operations – may pose a greater risk than a full-scale invasion. Poland also plays a special role in the region's security as the closest major ally and a potential logistical base for the Baltic states. #MiddleWorld #Russia #NATO #Lithuania #Latvia #Estonia #Security #HybridWar #InternationalPolitics #OSW #DGP
