Baltic states mull missile system against Russia
‘The three Northern European countries on the Baltic Sea are considering the deployment of a joint air defense system in response to what they describe as security concerns over Russia’s activities in the region.
On Thursday, defense ministers from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania came together in the northern Lithuanian city of Panevezys alongside their Ukrainian counterpart, Stepan Poltorak, to exchange viewpoints on the issue.
“We plan to analyze the possibility of developing a medium-range air defense system to strengthen our defense capabilities,” Lithuanian Defense Minister Juozas Olekas told reporters, adding, ‘External threats lead us to cooperate more.”‘
