US Congressman Don Bacon: Russia poses serious threat to the Baltic states

US Representative Don Bacon has warned that Russia is a serious threat to the Baltic states. Bacon, who has long led the Baltic states support group, called Vladimir Putin a dangerous dictator.

US Representative Don Bacon, who has for years served as co-chair of the Baltic states support group, gave an interview to BNS in which he emphasized that Russia poses a serious threat to the Baltic states. According to Bacon, Vladimir Putin is a bad and dangerous man who must not be underestimated.

The congressman stressed that Russia must be treated as a real and serious security threat specifically for the Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. According to Bacon, it is important that the US continues to provide strong support to the Baltic region and resists Russia's aggressive ambitions.

Don Bacon is one of the long-standing friends of the Baltic states in the US Congress, and under his leadership, the support group has actively promoted both the strengthening of NATO on the eastern flank and broad cooperation with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. His statements reflect broader concerns about Russia's military capabilities and intentions following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
