Скачать или смотреть Will Lithuania's $1bn border defence line deter Russia?

Lithuania is strengthening its border with Russia and Belarus with a $1bn multi-layered defence line to protect the Baltic state against a Russian attack.

It will include landmines, booby-trap bridges and tank-stopping concrete blocks know as Dragon’s teeth - on its border with Russia’s Kaliningrad.

Lithuania says the project shows its dedication to EU and NATO security.

With the war in Ukraine at a standstill, there is a fear across Eastern Europe that Russia could use the pause to rearm and launch a new attack, this time against the Baltic states.

Should Baltic states be concerned and how effective will Lithuania’s defence project be in deterring Russia?
