BUKOVSKIS, Karlis. No more nice guys: Baltic relations with Russia after 2022. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2023, n.77, pp.25-33.  Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2023.77a03.

Russia’s escalation of its war on Ukraine in 2022 was met by immediate and strong opposition by the Baltic states after three decades long balancing and piecemeal economic and political decoupling from Russia. Article examines changes that Russia related Baltic state foreign and domestic policy experienced in 2022. It deals with the rhetoric and actions of Baltic statesmen becoming more direct and tougher towards Russia, as well as how Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are weighting in their full support to Ukraine, and finally how the Baltics themselves are untying themselves from the remainders of Russian ‘soft power’ grip.
