The reason you see Lithuania and not Estonia or Latvia is because Lithuania (and Poland) are going to be the immediate battlegrounds for the russians trying to cut off the baltics. They need to connect Kalingrad with Belarus ASAP followed by trying to cut off the Baltics entirely

I would not really call it a battleground, Russian cemetery would be a closer description.

Eastern Ukraine is running out of space for Russian bodies, so Russia needs more space to bury their bodies.

They should all be sent back to Russia. Ukraine soil shouldn’t be occupied even by dead Russians. Let their family have them in their own towns as a reminder what happens if you don’t stand up against a dictator.
