Ook de Baltische staten kunnen nu (Amerikaanse) Wapens richting Oekraiene sturen en zullen dat ongetwijfeld asap doen, ze vragen ook effectieve nato-versterkingen.
Het gaat concreet om Javelins (Anti-tank wapens) en Stingers (Land-Lucht raketten.)

Citaat:
Baltic NATO allies Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia can now transfer American-made lethal weapons such as anti-armor and ground-to-air missiles to Ukraine.
The countries most at risk of renewed Russian adventurism — the Baltic members of NATO, all of which are former Soviet satellite states — are not only seeking to rush weapons to Ukraine but have also requested more NATO forces to bolster those already stationed in their countries.
The dozens of Russian infantry brigades arrayed along the Ukrainian border, equipped with tanks, rocket launchers and mobile artillery, would be virtually impossible to stop if deployed in force. But the Javelin anti-armor missiles Ukraine already possesses, and weapons such as Stinger ground-to-air missiles that remain on its wish list, could impose a cost on Russian forces that could lead to trouble at home for Putin.
