The Suwalki Gap: NATO's most fortified 104 kilometers
Original: Sparsely populated yet immensely fortified, with a gray barbed-wire fence stretching into the distance, the 104-kilomete
A new report describes the Suwalki Gap, the 104-kilometer corridor between Poland and Lithuania, as one of the most strategic points on NATO's eastern flank. Though sparsely populated, the border is heavily fortified with barbed-wire fencing stretching into the distance. The narrow land passage, which connects the Baltic states to the rest of NATO, is widely viewed as a potential flashpoint in any confrontation with Russia.
Why now: Ongoing tensions with Russia and NATO's eastern flank defense keep attention fixed on this strategic corridor
