The Baltics Support Ukraine

Professor Thomas Albert Howard holds a chair in Christian Ethics and here writes for Law & Liberty about the three small Baltic republics: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. His overview is more history than current events, although he reports the strong support they’ve given Ukraine in its fight against Russian domination.

The three Baltic republics together have an area equal in size to Nebraska. Their coastal location and proximity to Western Europe give them an importance beyond their diminutive size. As Howard notes, they’ve been conquered by many different power players - most recently the Soviets, then the Nazis, followed by the Soviets - and still they persist, currently thrive, and vigorously oppose Russian domination.
