Russia masses troops near NATO border - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
What would happen if Russia attacked the Baltic states? A new strategic simulation exploring a hypothetical NATO–Russia conflict suggests that Europe might struggle to fully reverse a Russian advance.

In this episode of Eastern Express, we examine the strategic weaknesses the simulation reveals about Europe’s current defense posture.
