Increasing Geopolitical Tension and Hybrid Tactics on the Eastern Flank
Multi-Layered Integration and Next-Generation Threats in Border Security
Conclusion and Future Perspective
This security dilemma faced by Latvia and other Baltic states serves as a critical warning for Europe's overall defense architecture. Russia's potential to destabilize border regions and its asymmetrical pressure elements make it imperative for NATO to render its presence on the eastern flank even more permanent and proactive. In the upcoming period, it is anticipated that such preventive measures jointly carried out by border security and military intelligence will serve as a reference not only for Latvia, but for the border integrity of the entire European Union.
