'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

Zelensky Accepts Defeat to Putin? Top Commander Allegedly Ready to Surrender to Russia | Details

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. #Zelensky #Putin #Ukraine #AleksandrSyrsky #Russia #Surrender #TopCommander #MilitaryConspiracy #ZelenskyGovernment #UkraineConflict #NationalSecurity #DefenseIntelligence #PoliticalTurmoil #InternalDivisions #RussianAggression #MilitaryStrategy ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~

‘Break Russia Into Pieces’:Estonian Pm Kaja Kallas Expected To Be Eu's Foreign Policy Chief| Watch

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. #EstonianPM #KajaKallas #Ukrainewar #RussiaUkrainewar #EU #Euronews #Moscow #RussiaUkrainewar #Ukrainewarlive #Warnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ukraine,russia,estonia,russia ukraine war,russia ukraine,russia ukraine news,ukraine russia,russia vs ukraine,ukraine war,ukraine russia news,russia ukraine conflict,ukraine vs russia,ukraine russia war,russia war ukraine,russia vs ukraine war update,ukraine news, russia ukraine war russian,estonia ukraine,estonia russia,ukraine russian,estonia russia war,ukraine and russia,russia and ukraine,estonia russia 2024, Oneindia, Oneindia news ~PR.320~ED.101~HT.318~GR.125~
