Poland and the Baltic countries – a wall that stops Russia [WIDER]

**The subject of Russian influences on east European countries has been discussed many times since 2014. It was besides described as a major challenge for the Alliance in the 21st century. It is actual that Ukraine is presently supported by many NATO countries, but in terms of GDP, no 1 can compare the aid provided by Poland and the Baltic countries. At the same time, the threat from the Russian Federation is increasing, which is why all Baltic countries are strengthening national defence. Almost all ties to Moscow appear to have been broken, and Ukraine may not be Putin's last target**.
