'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

EU Troops vs. Russian Army? Biden’s Move Triggers NATO Tensions, Putin Reacts With Nuclear Move

After Biden’s long range missile approval, now NATO allies are making significant moves in Ukraine, with Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna calling for potential EU military deployment.

Putin’s Scary Nuclear Warning to Ukraine, NATO| Russia Revises Nuclear Doctrine After Biden’s Move

Russia has issued a chilling nuclear warning with President Vladimir Putin revising the country's nuclear doctrine to include responses to attacks from non-nuclear states supported by nuclear powers. The move follows U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to authorise Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia. The updated doctrine now justifies nuclear retaliation for conventional threats, highlighting concerns over weapons like hypersonic missiles and strike drones. As tensions escalate, Kremlin officials have framed this shift as a clear warning to NATO and the West against supporting aggression toward Russia. #PutinWarning #NuclearDoctrine #RussiaUkraineConflict #GlobalTensions #BidenMoves #NATOWarning #NuclearEscalation #UkraineWar #KremlinUpdate #LongRangeMissiles #RussiaThreats #GlobalSecurity #HypersonicWeapons #ColdWar2 #WorldPeace

Revenge For Putin’s Nuke Warning? Ukraine Fires Deadly U.S-made ATACMS Missile at Russia

Ukraine escalates the conflict with a long-range missile strike against Russia’s Bryansk region, using the U.S.-supplied ATACMS missile system. The strike comes after Moscow issued a stern nuclear warning, with tensions further flaring as the missiles mark the first direct assault on Russia’s internationally recognized territory. Despite Russia’s defence systems intercepting some of the missiles, the strike caused significant damage, including a fire at a military facility. The use of ATACMS missiles, capable of reaching targets up to 300 km away, signals a new phase in Ukraine's military strategy, intensifying the conflict in the ongoing war #UkraineStrike #ATACMS #PutinNukeWarning #RussiaStrike #UkraineMissileAttack #USMissileAid #BryanskStrike #UkraineVsRussia #LongRangeMissile #UkraineMilitary #RussiaConflict #MissileStrike #NATOResponse #RussiaDefenses #UkraineWar ~HT.178~GR.344~PR.152~ED.155~
