(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, JUN 27 - Poland and the Baltic states
urged the European Union this week to strengthen its eastern
border, warning in a joint letter to Brussels of a "looming
threat" from Russia and Belarus. The four EU members are staunch
allies of Ukraine, which has been fighting a fully-fledged
Russian invasion for more than two years. They are trenchant
critics of Moscow, who they accuse of orchestrating hybrid
attacks including "intimidation, instrumentalisation of
migrants, sabotage, disinformation, foreign information
manipulation and interference, (and) cyber-attacks". In their
letter, seen by AFP on Thursday, the leaders of Poland, Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania urged the 27-nation EU to "spend more and
coordinate on defence initiatives within the EU and with NATO".
