Plan de urgență pe flancul estic al NATO. Civilii din țările baltice ar putea fi evacuați peste frontiera poloneză
Poland and Lithuania are developing a joint plan for civilian evacuation from the Baltic states in case of a major crisis. The Suwałki corridor is crucial for this operation. Lithuanian officials are assessing logistics and procedures for evacuating citizens from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to Poland. Ongoing exercises, named "Vyčio Skliautas 2026," involve thousands of participants testing emergency response systems. The exercises aim to enhance readiness without indicating an imminent military threat. Poland is also preparing to receive evacuees, with discussions on mass evacuations and civil protection already underway. This initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen civil resilience on NATO's eastern flank.
