In his opinion piece “The Russians are Coming to Occupy the Baltic States” EESC Senior Analyst Marius Laurinavicius argues that political preparation for military occupation of the Baltic States has already started in Moscow. He supports such argument by bringing attention to the article by Russian political analyst Rostislav Ishchenko entitled “Redemptive Ransom”. Ishchenko states that the inevitability of “preventive occupation of the Baltic states” is in the vital interest of the Kremlin and Russia.
Laurinavicius notes that Ishchenko‘s analysis is a herald of a campaign very similar to the one that preceded the attack on Ukraine. Deducing from this pattern, we should expect to see more analyses like that appearing on public platforms and finally encouraging Vladimir Putin to take tangible action – much like in the case of Crimean annexation or aggression in eastern Ukraine.
