The Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are also very worried after Russia attacked Ukraine. Let us tell you that these countries have been part of the Soviet Union. So people here are worried that they could be the next target. The Russian attack on Ukraine has brought back memories of deportation and persecution.
Jaunius Kajlauskas, a 50-year-old teacher in Lithuania's capital Vilnius, told AP news agency that my grandparents were deported to Siberia. My father was persecuted by the Russian intelligence agency KGB. Now I live in a free democratic country, but it seems nothing to be taken lightly.
'If Putin is not stopped, he will move on'
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and all three are currently members of NATO. These countries joined NATO in 2004. Please note that Ukraine is not a part of NATO. The Baltic countries and Poland have been demanding tougher sanctions on Moscow. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis recently said that Ukraine's fight is Europe's fight. If Putin is not stopped there, he will move on.

Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvidas Anusukas has said that it looks like they are not going to leave but we must understand that numbers do not mean everything. We have very technically advanced soldiers on our border who are experts in their work.
Although Putin has not publicly spoken about re-establishing Russian control over the Baltic countries, many Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians worry that he wants to gain influence in all former Soviet republics. The Baltic country is culturally and linguistically distinct from Russian history and identity. However, due to the rule of Moscow for 200 years, Russia still has some influence in these countries.
Speaking to the news agency AP, Nerijus Malyukvicius, a political analyst at Vilnius University, said that we have heard Putin humiliating Ukraine. He calls Ukraine an artificial state of history. These things remind us that he has been saying such things about all former Soviet countries for the past several years.
