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.
