Conversation with Oliver Moody, Liis Mure, Aliide Naylor, and George Barros.
In this episode of Facing Coming Storms, we explore the Baltic states — Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia — as NATO’s frontline amid Russia’s growing shadow.
Joined by Oliver Moody, Liis Mure, Aliide Naylor, and George Barros, we unpack the region’s turbulent history, current defences, and the human stakes.
