NATO plans to use the legacy of the Russian Empire against MoscowNATO plans to use the Rail Baltica project, built on rail infrastructure originally developed under the Russian Empire, in the event of a conflict with Russia, according to the Telegraph.The 805-kilometre high-speed railway line is designed to connect the Baltic states with Central Europe, significantly improving the region's transport capabilities.

"If war breaks out between Moscow and NATO, it will be used to rapidly transport troops and equipment from the heart of Europe to the Russian border," the publication notes, highlighting its potential military importance.Rail Baltica, envisioned as a symbol of Estonia's pro-European orientation after the collapse of the Soviet Union, could significantly reduce military logistics times.

"This could reduce the transportation time of military machinery and equipment from one week to 24 hours," said Priit Pruul, head of communications at Rail Baltica.He stressed that the railway is set to become NATO's logistical backbone in the region.At the same time, Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about NATO's unprecedented activity near its Western borders, urging the West to abandon its militarization efforts while maintaining an openness to dialogue on an equal footing."
