Lithuania has found a new region where Russia poses a “threat to NATO”

Speaking at the Berlin Security Conference, the Lithuanian Foreign Minister, Kęstutis Budrys, declared that Russia threatens NATO not only in the Baltics, but also in the Arctic region. 

“The Arctic remains a key strategic area for Russia. Moscow’s activities there pose a direct threat to NATO infrastructure and the security of its allies,” the Lithuanian top diplomat proclaimed.

He believes that this is part of the Russian “hybrid war” in the Baltics.

“Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership creates a strategic link between the Baltic Sea and the North. Any conflict in the Arctic will have a direct impact on the Baltic region, from changes in naval deployment to hybrid threats such as GPS jamming or cyberattacks,” Budrys added.

Budrys thinks that the NATO limitrophe states in the Baltics are the centre of the universe. Therefore, he has concocted a new type of threat that Russia supposedly poses to the Alliance. Apparently, previous propaganda narratives about the “Russian threat” in the Baltics aren’t persuasive enough for their Western masters anymore.
