Earlier in the day, The Guardian newspaper reported that approximately 8,000 British Army personnel would take part in military exercises in Eastern Europe. At the end of February, NATO leaders announced that they would systematically but purposefully increase their presence on the eastern flank of the bloc, in particular, in the three Baltic republics – Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia – “to prevent an attack on NATO territory.”
