The American military reassures the Baltic states: “In case of war, they will quickly help you”
In the event of a war with Russia, the Baltic countries could receive reinforcements from the rest of NATO countries within a few days.
Former US Army commander Ben Hodges stated this on the Lithuanian Delfi channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The presenter asked how much time would be needed in the current circumstances if one of the Baltic countries were to be attacked.
“If all countries prepare everything necessary for the rapid deployment of forces, this could take a matter of days.
“The Netherlands, Germany and Poland recently entered into an agreement to create a mobility corridor that will allow NATO forces to quickly move through Northern Europe into the Baltic region,” Hodges promised.
“There are things that need to be done to prepare the infrastructure to support the movement of heavy equipment. But in addition, it is necessary to ensure unimpeded crossing of borders between friendly countries, even within the EU,” the general added.
