“Mr Putin will not stop until someone stops him.” So writes Baiba Braže, Latvia’s Foreign Minister. As Europe navigates one of its most turbulent geopolitical moments in decades, the voices of the countries defending NATO’s Eastern Flank have never mattered more. Join us for a compelling talk and Q&A with Minister Braže, in conversation with moderator Dr Donatas Kupčiūnas, Baltic Fellow at the Centre for Geopolitics.

Minister Braže will explore the perspective of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania on the battlefield dynamics in Ukraine, the consequences of Russia’s war for wider Euro-Atlantic security, as well as the sub-conventional threat posed by Russia’s hybrid campaign targeting NATO allies. Minister Braže will also address the shifting dynamics within NATO and the transatlantic relationship. At a time when attention is being pulled in multiple directions, from Russia’s war in Ukraine to escalating tensions in the Middle East, Minister Braže will make the case for why these three small nations sit at the very heart of Europe’s strategic future, and why the UK and its allies cannot afford to look away.
