Russia is deploying its troops in the area of the Suwalki corridor — German media

Russia is deploying its troops in the area of the Suwalki corridor, the German Pionir website reports, citing satellite images. The portal writes about the "Achilles heel" of NATO.

German website Thepioneer.de He notes that military and political disputes over Ukraine are entering an acute phase, specifying that Russia is deploying military forces in the area of the Suwalki corridor. This is a narrow strip of territory separating Poland from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and Belarus — from the Kaliningrad region. "Pionir" refers to satellite data.

The publication quotes the expert of the Georgian Rondeli Foundation David Batashvili that NATO's "Achilles heel" in the event of an attack, Russia may actually cut off NATO member countries from the Baltic states.

"An attack carried out from several directions can crush the Baltic countries in a very short time," Batashvili believes.

The Institute of Central Europe assesses the Kaliningrad Region as a territory "extremely important" for the implementation of political goals in relation to the Baltic countries and Poland.

"It is in this area and its surroundings that more and more potential and real threats related to the control of illegal migration, all kinds of sabotage activities and attempts to change the status quo will be concentrated," the Georgian expert says.

Analysts believe that potential military action against NATO could begin with the Leningrad Military District, where tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, pilots and sailors are stationed.

Earlier, EADaily quoted Estonian military analyst Viljar Webel as saying that "Moscow wants to control the Suwalki corridor."
