Unless Ukraine’s neighbors find a way to further increase defense production to help Kyiv, they too will eventually find themselves in Russia’s crosshairs, intelligence experts say.
The Russian Federation could occupy the Baltic states within seven days, with a longer NATO response. Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said this on Thursday, May 2, The Economist reports.
“The Russians will capture the Baltic countries in seven days At the same time, NATO’s reaction time is ten days,” said Skibitsky.
He also said that Ukraine’s bravery and sacrifice gave Europe the advantage of time, removing the immediate threat from Russia’s airborne forces and Marine Corps that once threatened the West. The question is whether Europe will return the favor by keeping Ukraine in the game.
“We will continue to fight. We have no choice. We want to live. But the outcome of the war does not depend only on us,” he added.
Earlier, Alexander Lukashenko openly admitted that he was preparing Belarus for war.
Before this, Lukashenko threatened Lithuania and Poland with an attack on the Suwalski corridor – a section between Russia’s Kaliningrad region and Belarus, which belongs to Lithuania and Poland.
