On March 5, 2024, the Latvian government approved a detailed military and antimobility plan for the eastern border, allocating approximately 303 million euros over five years starting from 2024. The plan is part of the Baltic Defense Line strategy, jointly supported by Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia following a January 2024 agreement between their defense ministers. Measures include constructing new fortified defense positions, anti-tank ditches, various obstacles tailored to terrain, trenches, and minefields, as well as enhancing transport routes and railways to delay enemy movement and strengthen rapid reaction capabilities. This initiative aims to blunt any Russian military attempt by strengthening the Baltic states' border defenses until NATO forces can arrive. The Latvian Ministry of Defense oversees the plan's execution.
