Russia's reported invasion of Ukraine last February sparked concern among the three Baltic states, which, despite regaining independence from the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and becoming NATO members, cannot ignore a potential Russian attack.

Separately, Russia has increased shelling in eastern Ukraine outside the main Donbas front in recent days, and the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday that its troops were in a better position after the Russian offensive in the Zaporizhzhia region.

The report also pointed out that the new German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated yesterday (21) that he intends to visit Ukraine as soon as possible. He also added that Germany is in close discussion with the United States and other international allies on the tank issue. .
