On February 24, 2023, NATO launched a significant military operation to bolster the defense of Eastern European countries against potential threats from Russia. The alliance has deployed additional troops and advanced weaponry to these regions as part of its Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP) initiative. This move includes rotating around 4,000 troops across Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to strengthen the collective defense mechanisms in place since 2017. NATO's actions are aimed at reassuring member states while deterring any aggressive moves by Russia near its borders.
