Russia's Baltic Sea Border Claim Sparks Concerns Among Neighboring Nations

ai generated text

Russia has proposed a draft decree to redraw its sea borders around Russian islands in the Gulf of Finland and Kaliningrad, which was first reported by Tass news agency. Latvia is trying to clarify the situation, while Lithuania warns that Moscow aims to intimidate its neighbors. Finland's president stated that Moscow did not consult with Helsinki on the proposal, and Lithuania's foreign minister accused Russia of spreading "fear, uncertainty, and doubt". General Micael Byden warned that President Putin wants to control the Baltic Sea, citing Sweden's recent decision to join NATO in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
