With the accession of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 2004, the EU 🇪🇺 and NATO 🛡️ for the first time shared a direct border with the Russian Federation. The enlargement also brought member states with a sizable Russian minority population.
The Baltic states saw this step as a life insurance against Russian attempts to restore hegemony after the Soviet collapse. From 2007 onward, Russia made clear that it viewed Baltic EU and NATO accession as a security threat.
Tensions have risen ever since. They reached new highs with Russia’s attacks on Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, and with the NATO accession of Sweden and Finland.
In this situation, we have invited Maris Hellrand, a prominent freelance journalist from Tallinn 🇪🇪, to talk about life at a focal point of new East-West tension**.**
