Improving the capacity to respond to non-traditional security challenges in line with the Party’s viewpoint of Fatherland protection
Wednesday, January 31, 2024, 11:40 (GMT+7)
Non-traditional security challenges have, actually, been happening at different degrees and scales and greatly affected all aspects of social life, including defence and security sectors in the theatres of air, land, sea, cyberspace,... When those impacts cannot be controlled or handled ineffectively, they will cause defence risks. The risks caused by non-traditional security threats directly or indirectly will reduce defence potential and strength, destabilise the country's political security and may lead to conflicts and wars. Therefore, preventing, responding to, and repelling non-traditional security challenges has become an important task in the cause of Fatherland protection today.

Suwalki Gap - a strategic area in the Russia-NATO confrontation
Monday, January 22, 2024, 14:22 (GMT+7)
According to military experts, Suwalki is considered the “Achilles’ heel” in NATO’s eastern defence system because it is in a “vulnerable, difficult-to-defend” position. If conflict were to arise between Russia and NATO, Russia could easily control this corridor through a pincer attack, with one thrust from the northwest (Kaliningrad) and another from the southeast (Belarus, a Russian ally). In such a scenario, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia would be encircled and isolated.
