This could be serious. It’s at least dangerous.
President Obama deployed US special forces troops along Lithuania’s border with “aggressive” Russia.
Tensions between Washington and the Kremlin reached Cold War levels because Vladimir Putin deployed nuke-ready missiles in the Russian province of Kaliningrad – which borders Poland, Belarus and Lithuania. Lithuanian Defence Ministry spokeswoman Asta Galdikaite confirmed America offered additional military support following Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
She said: “The United States was the first to offer additional safety assurance measures to the Baltic countries following the deterioration of the security situation in the region after the annexation of the Crimea so US Special Operations Forces in Lithuania is one of the deterrents” against military threats by Putin’s aggressive regime, reports the Express.
Lithuania’s foreign minister Linas Linkevicius confirmed Russia’s military activity in Kaliningrad is terrifying the region.
He said: “Iskander missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads have been deployed. There are S-400 missiles and modernised jets.”
