Russia's Baltic Sea Border Plans Escalate Tensions with NATO and EU

Lithuania's foreign minister denounces a Russian draft plan to alter borders in the Baltic Sea, calling it a provocative move against NATO and the EU. Labeling it a hybrid operation, the minister urges for a firm and appropriate response to mitigate spreading fear and uncertainty.

A Russian draft plan to tweak the borders of the country's territorial waters in the Baltic Sea is an escalation against NATO and the European Union, Lithuania's foreign minister said on Wednesday.

"Another Russian hybrid operation is underway, this time attempting to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about their intentions in the Baltic Sea," Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said on social media platform X.

"This is an obvious escalation against NATO and the EU, and must be met with an appropriately firm response," he added.
