Dr Aleksandra Kuczyńska-Zonik, an expert at the Institute of Central Europe, spoke to Interia News about strengthening societal resilience in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in the face of pressure from Russia.
As the expert points out, regular incidents and provocations by Russia have exposed deficiencies in the Baltic states’ security systems and crisis communication. Successive challenges and threats have contributed to the gradual strengthening of their defence capabilities, infrastructure, and public awareness.
Dr Aleksandra Kuczyńska-Zonik also highlights the importance of public education as a key element in building societal resilience to threats.
