Lithuania, to which Germany plans to transfer four thousand Bundeswehr soldiers, and Poland border the Russian Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad and Russia’s close ally, Belarus. Neighboring countries are worried about the expansion of Russia’s aggressive war in Ukraine. There is a narrow land corridor between the two countries of the EU and NATO — the so-called Suvalk gap. By seizing it, Russia can cut off the Baltic states from the rest of NATO.
Earlier, the head of Poland, Andrzej Duda, emphasized that the Suwalki corridor needs special attention, monitoring and concentration.
Earlier it was reported that the Bundeswehr considers the threat from Russia to be real and is also paying attention to a possible strike on the Suwalki corridor.
