"Baltic States Collaborate to Construct Border Defense Network Against Russia and Belarus"
TL;DR
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are constructing a network of bunkers along their borders with Russia and Belarus, citing the need for defensive installations in the current security situation. The project, estimated to cost around $65.3 million, is a response to tensions between NATO, Russia, and Belarus, with all three Baltic nations being NATO members. The move comes amid heightened concerns following Russia's war in Ukraine and Belarus's adoption of a new military doctrine allowing for the use of nuclear weapons supplied by Russia.
