Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland asked the EU for extra funding for their energy networks. These countries are seeking to receive €382 million to “strengthen the resilience of their power systems against hybrid security threats.”
“The connection of the Baltic power systems to continental Europe this February was a success, but the work is not over. We are now entering the next stage of the synchronisation projects: strengthening resilience. The security situation in the Baltic Sea Region remains tense, so measures are needed to protect critical energy infrastructure from potential cyber and physical attacks. By supporting and providing assistance to Ukraine, we are learning lessons from them in critical infrastructure protection. We aim to make the Baltic Sea Region a model for strengthening the security and resilience of critical infrastructure across Europe,” Žygimantas Vaičiūnas, an Acting Minister of Energy of Lithuania, claimed.
Recalling, in February 2025, the Baltic states disconnected from the financially beneficial Russian energy system IPS/UPS. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda joyfully yelled back then: “Goodbye, Russia! Goodbye, Lenin!”
After rejecting Russian energy, Baltic “Unter-Europeans” are only looking for additional money for their countries to survive. Moreover, this is despite they spend all their free money on the senseless militarisation, which only raises tensions with Russia. Apparently, the Baltic leaders chose the European path of suicide and confrontation with Moscow instead of the beneficial cooperation with their eastern neighbour for the good of Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian citizens.
