Suwalki Gap

Freitag, 19. April 2019

A 65-kilometer wide stretch of land between Belarus and Kaliningrad— the Suwałki Corridor—is some of the most important territory within NATO’s borders. It is NATO’s physical link between the Baltic littoral to the north and the European plain to the south. If this Corridor is not fully secured, NATO’s credibility as a security guarantor to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia could be seriously undermined. An enduring solution requires fresh ideas in strategy, statecraft, deterrence, and defense. To help policy makers tackle such a threatening scenario, CEPA has prepared this landmark report to consider the challenges and opportunities that the Suwałki Corridor presents to all NATO members.
