Baltic International Security Centre

"Be more Baltic!" is our motto. Founded by @edwardlucas, we are a thinktank (and do-tank) specialising in Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian national security

[Baltic International Security Centre @securebaltics]

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania see things we don’t see. They smell things we don’t smell. And they do things we don’t do. As Europe dithers and shivers in the face of Russian aggression, it's time to "Be more Baltic!"

The #Baltics: a "geopolitical risk"? Markets disagree. If #Lithuania, #Latvia & #Estonia are so risky, why is their debt priced with France's? Our first Baltic Barometer explains why—and how the region could unlock hundreds of millions in new investment. https://t.co/julJUmNSxm

Gleðilega þjóðhátíð! 🇮🇸

Today we celebrate the National Day of our Ally Iceland — the first country to recognise the restored independence of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1991.

A valued friend and partner in strengthening our shared security.

Krievija ir teroristiska valsts,kas savu agresīvo mērķu sasniegšanai pastrādā vissmagākos noziegumus. Grauj, iznīcina, nogalina. Aizvakar kristīgā pasaule piedzīvoja kā Krievija sapostīja Pečoru klostera katedrāli.Tas ir kā sabumbot Parīzes Dievmātes katedrāli. Tas ir barbarisms.

Dear Ukrainian friends,

Congratulations on a historic day - opening of the EU accession negotiations! 🇪🇺🇺🇦

[IllimarLepikvonWirén @iLepikVonWiren]

A great example to the “Baltics are next” crowd. Russian hybrid/kinetic activity doesn’t care about geographical closeness to the border. They are active throughout Europe.

Alexandra Jost, the Russian propagandist know for disseminating Kremlin propaganda dressed up as lifestyle content on behalf of Russia Today, has just been placed under EU sanctions. Don’t expect ‘Sasha Meets Europe’ anytime soon.

The Baltic states, and @securebaltics founder @edwardlucas, have warned us about Russian sabotage and intimidation since the 1990s. We didn't listen. Now Russia treats Britain with contempt. And this is the result. #bemorebaltic https://t.co/8SjvBX8lH8

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Excellent investigative journalism by BBC Panorama, showing Russian involvement not just in arson attacks on Starmer’s house but also in anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim attacks. https://t.co/kGQ3uLDV1Z

Absurd. The organisation tasked with protecting cultural heritage does not even know whom it protects it from.

Why is it so hard to just say “Russian strike”?

Sadly, under @UNESCO_DG, @UNESCO continues to show lack of leadership, weakness, and inability to fulfill its mandate.

[Daniel Fried @AmbDanFried]

I keep thinking of Polish Director Jerzy Hoffman’s great movie about the 1648 Cossack Uprising against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The movie’s subtext: it was a war best avoided. History’s lesson suggests that Polish-Ukrainian solidarity works best.

[Oana Lungescu @LungescuOana]

Russia is increasingly recruiting proxies online to destabilise our democracies with increasingly brazen attacks, such as the arson targeting the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Important investigation by @BBCNews.

Looking back at the NB8 Summit in Tallinn. Eight countries. One voice.

The Nordic-Baltic region is becoming one of Europe's strongest engines of security, innovation and growth.

Together with President @ZelenskyyUa, we reaffirmed that Ukraine can count on us. We remain among Ukraine's most committed supporters.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the summit a success 🇪🇪🇺🇦🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇱🇻🇱🇹🇳🇴🇸🇪
