What implications the Russian Federation’s compatriot policy could have for the security of Baltic States?

The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation to 2020 sets the national interests of the country and strategic national priorities, which could affect strategy for the military security of Baltic States. This paper will argue that the threat to the military security of Baltic States has considerably increased since their restoration of independence because the Russian army reforms in recent years have increased the military capabilities near the Baltic States borders and military operations and other military activities have risen around the Baltic region, which have decreased the environment of the security on the entire area. The aim of this paper is to identify the Russian military threats and to analyse their implications to the concepts of the military security of Baltic States, which based on territorial defence and to make further recommendations based on research findings and analysis.
