The United States intends to allocate $49 million for the design and construction of military facilities in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
This is stated in the application of the US Army Corps of Engineers in Europe, the text of which was reviewed by RT.
According to the document, the Engineer Corps intends to conclude at least three contracts for the provision of architectural and engineering services to both the Pentagon and federal agencies located on the territory of the US Department of Defense and the host country, and to support defense operations in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The application states that the acquisition of these services will be aimed at supporting current and future missions of the US Army Corps of Engineering, implemented in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia as part of the European containment initiative.
This program involves the deployment in Europe, bordering Russia, of several thousand NATO troops with machinery and equipment. As stated in the alliance, such measures are taken in response to the “aggressive actions” of Russia.
According to the plans, design and construction work will be carried out for the further construction, repair, modification or restoration of such facilities as “airfields, railways, fuel storages and warehouses for fuels and lubricants, ammunition and explosive materials depots, barracks, housing blocks for one or many families, engineering structures, medical blocks, office buildings, workshops for maintenance and repair of mobile vehicles, facilities for operation and training military complexes, operational/reconnaissance centers, military training grounds and other facilities of the US Armed Forces.”
They plan to decide on the choice of contractor by September, but a contract can only be awarded to an American company or to a joint venture of an American company and a host country.
Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about the buildup of military capabilities of NATO countries, including the United States, and has stated its readiness to take countermeasures.
“We expressed concern about the buildup of NATO military capabilities near Russian borders. The scale of preparations for the alliance goes far beyond the needs of self-defense, and this line leads to increased tension and exacerbated the deficit of trust,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
As noted by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, Moscow reserves the right to retaliatory actions in order to ensure the country’s security.
“We reserve the right to respond, including taking appropriate countermeasures in the interests of reliable security of our country,” the representative of the department emphasized.
Back in October 2019, Estonia and the US signed an agreement to enhance cooperation between the countries. Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu met with this U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo and they signed the agreement.
“The main directions in Estonia’s foreign policy include bolstering relations with the United States and reinforcing NATO as well as encouraging further cooperation between the European Union and the United States,” Reinsalu explained. “Considering the changing circumstances in the world, the unique transatlantic bond between the United States and Europe is the most solid support for ensuring our security and protecting our values.”
In the document, the NATO allies reaffirmed their commitment to NATO’s collective defence and the need to further strengthen the military organisation.

Such dumb fucks, swapping Soviet occupation for Anglo-American NATO.
Not only that the corrupt Americunts will waste the $49 million peanuts on whoring, drugs and pimp clubs for the lardass losers. Russia is not sleeping either, it has just lifted arms sanctions on Iran and mega billion weapons are coming. Watch of joint assembly of SU-35 and S-400 systems.
Moscow: UN Weapons Embargo on Iran Can’t Be Prolonged Despite US Efforts
War against Iran (on behalf of Israel) is going to be very costly one for an America that is now just a sow with it’s much of it’s milk drying up for her Nato-Zionist piglets.
They don’t have the capability or guts to take on Iran. China and Russia are both intent on changing the global economic and strategic power balance. These Baltic states are like a pimple on the arse and have zero strategic matrix value. Russia can internally cripple them in a hour as the populations are mixed like Ukraine.
“As noted by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, Moscow reserves the right to retaliatory actions in order to ensure the country’s security.” That is exactly what we say about Iran’s presence in Syria and the threat it poses on our security, now I want to see all the hypocrites here bark.
Well why don’t you try something called diplomacy, seeing you are quoting a FM spox in your comment here. Maybe you even get Maria as your middle woman to do so?
big difference of retaliatory action, russia will only retaliate if there forces/country will ne attack by an enemy while israeli action already bomb civilians because of some gatherings
Difference is, NATO doesn’t try to arm proxy militias on Russia’s border so they can shoot rockets on Russian citizens, but Iran does it from Syria against Israel. Got it?
We’re talking about the U.S., not Israel. Got it?
russia has plenty of that, not only chechen terrorist but also georgia and ukraine, got it?
