 The Baltic countries call on NATO to prepare for possible Russian aggression

The Baltic countries call on the NATO countries to prepare for a possible armed aggression by Russia. Implementation of such measures involves the return of compulsory military service and the introduction of a special defense tax.

The President of Latvia, Edgar Rinkevičs, noted that the introduction of compulsory military service will help to form more militarily capable reserves to deter Russia. However, he admitted that this idea may not find support among the population.

"NATO countries need to return mandatory military service in order to form more combat-capable reserves to deter Russia," said the President of Latvia, Edgar Rinkevičs.

The President of Estonia, Alar Karis, also considers it necessary to introduce a special tax to finance military purchases. This will allow Europe to match US defense spending.

"We must introduce a special tax to finance military purchases. This will help match US defense spending," said the President of Estonia, Alar Karis.

According to the data, in 2023 the United States allocated $860 billion for defense, while the combined spending of NATO countries and Canada amounted to only $404 billion.

German special services also warn of possible Russian aggression as early as 2026. The Baltic States and Finland may come under attack from Russia.
