The shift in U.S. support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, which enters its fourth year on Monday, has raised alarms in Kyiv and in capitals across Europe. A new documentary finds that those anxieties are especially high in some of Russia’s neighbors on the Baltic Sea.

Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania officially disconnected from the Russian-controlled Brell power grid. The following day, they successfully connected to the European Union’s electricity network.

The B-52 and accompanying fighter aircraft flew within just 30 miles (50 kilometers) of the Russian border, and just 10 miles of the Belarusian border.

These countries, once dismissed as junior partners, are now in the vanguard of NATO, outpacing Western giants such as Germany and France in percentage terms.
