Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania should take seriously the calls by the United States for easing tensions in relations with Russia.
Globalinfo.az reports that this was stated by Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou.
In his view, Washington’s messages can be seen as a warning to the Baltic states not to rely on U.S. support in the event of a possible conflict with Russia.
Christoforou said that the Pentagon’s position is essentially a message to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to refrain from steps that would provoke Russia.
“If you go too far in your relations with Russia and get drawn into a conflict because you provoked it, we will not support you,” the journalist said, commenting on the U.S. position.
He also noted that Washington is urging European countries to refrain from escalating rhetoric and ill-considered steps.
