And they said that Vladimir Putin’s brutalisation of Ukraine is evoking the three countries’ “darkest memories” of occupation under Stalin. Warning that Russia could once again seek to invade, they said: “We are acutely aware that Russia’s war economy and battle-hardened military can pivot quickly from south to west. The ambassadors said the “frontline” Baltic states are “raising our game, ready to fight to defend every inch and every soul” and “Nato must do the same”.
