NATO warning over fears 'Russia may not stop with Ukraine'

RUSSIA'S invasion of Ukraine has stirred fears in NATO that a new iron curtain could fall across Europe - dividing its Baltic members from the rest. It is bolstering forces in that area to reflect what Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg calls 'the new normal'.

Direct confrontation between NATO and Russia could touch off a global conflict. One retired NATO commander told Reuters the alliance is considering whether deterrence is enough.

Not according to Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis last week.

He said: "We are convinced in the Baltic states that we need to move from deterrence to a standing defence and it has to come from NATO planning leadership, that they will start looking into the region differently than they had throughout the last two decades."
