FAZ – Potential Russian attack scenarios along NATO’s Eastern border

The large map highlights Russia in dark blue and traces NATO’s eastern border in red from Finland through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania toward Poland. Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad are also labelled, while the Suwałki Gap between Poland and Lithuania is emphasized near the border with Belarus and Kaliningrad.
The article presents hypothetical Russian attack scenarios and NATO defence considerations rather than reporting an actual attack. NATO describes the Suwałki Gap as a strategic stretch of land connecting Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with the rest of Allied territory.
