NATO Must Send More Troops to Baltics, Rinkevics Says

NATO should boost ground forces and expand military drills in the Baltic region to help protect it against Russian aggression, Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics said.

“We need more troops, more exercises, a more visible presence,” Rinkevics said Tuesday in an interview in New York on Bloomberg Television’s Surveillance. “What is really necessary is that we make clear that NATO will stay as long as necessary, will do whatever it can.”
