The essay covers the following aspects of a very complex subject: Russia’s increasing hostility and involvement, longstanding security concerns of the Baltic states, Crimea and Donbass 2014 as a first “wake-up call”, NATO’s response, more far-reaching proposals for Baltic security, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its background, Putin’s gross miscalculation, Baltic countries’ security policy and their cooperation, NATO accession by Finland and Sweden, the High North, and, finally, NATO’s development with regard to Russia and the North.
