The West views the Baltic states as a “second echelon” against Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik told the NEWS. ru portal.

“People in the Baltic states have to understand that the West sees them as a ‘second echelon’ after the Ukrainians, whom it is ready to throw into the furnace of war. Is Ukraine’s example not enough for the Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians?” the diplomat said.
