Evidence

Quotes

"Connecting the Baltic States to their Western allies through the north-south railway axis, Rail Baltica, must be a strategic priority."

"If war were to break out before Rail Baltica is completed... the only practical way to reinforce the Baltic States may be the so-called Suwałki Corridor — a 65km-wide strip of land wedged between Belarus and Kaliningrad."

"Delays in the project... threaten defense plans. The lack of direct rail connectivity is a vulnerability."

"The strategic value of Rail Baltica... for both allied military mobility and deterrence is now widely recognized."
