'Newsweek' reports that NATO's
front-line states that border Russia are
preparing for a potential war with Moscow.
In January, defense ministers agreed to a new plan to build extensive fortifications meant to stop a potential Russian incursion which has been feared across northeastern Europe.
.
Estonia, one of the countries included in the plan,
shares a 210-mile border with Russia and will install
some 600 bunkers meant to prevent an invasion.
The war in Ukraine has shown
that taking back already conquered
territories is extremely difficult and
comes at great cost of human lives,
time and material resources, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
Susan Lilleväli, the undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, discussed the
$64.7 million project during a February 8 press conference.
In addition to equipment,
ammunition and manpower,
we need physical installations
to defend our countries efficiently, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
According to Lilleväli, the planned Baltic defensive
line is part of NATO's updated "forward defense
posture and deterrence by denial" approach.
These installations serve, first,
the purpose of avoiding military
conflict in our region, as they could
potentially change the enemy's calculus, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
Counter-mobility and fortification
measures have played a significant
role in wars in our region in history,
for example in Finland, and as the
war in Ukraine has demonstrated they
are perfectly valid also in this century, Susan Lilleväli, undersecretary for defense readiness
at the Estonian Defense Ministry, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that prototypes for the bunkers
are currently being constructed, with testing set to
commence this year and installation beginning in 2025

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin has stirred concerns within the Biden administration, especially as it coincided with a major NATO summit in Washington. This visit, described as a strategic misstep by U.S. officials, complicates the optics for Washington as it seeks to isolate Russia and bolster support for Ukraine. Despite U.S. attempts to dissuade the timing of the meeting, Modi proceeded, emphasizing India's independent foreign policy stance. This incident underscores the complexities of the U.S.-India relationship, as the U.S. tries to strengthen its alliance with India to counter China's growing influence.

Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is set to become the EU's new foreign policy chief, advocating for a tougher stance against Russia. She controversially defines victory in Ukraine as breaking Russia into smaller states and supports pushing Russia back, maintaining sanctions, and integrating Ukraine into the EU and NATO. This signals a more confrontational EU approach, likely intensifying tensions with Moscow. Russia, meanwhile, remains committed to its military objectives in Ukraine, setting the stage for continued conflict.
