“Russia is perfectly capable of invading the Baltics tomorrow,” and the Baltic States should do a better job of protecting themselves, according to an exclusive interview with Paul Ingram, executive director of the British American Security Information Council (BASIC) by LSM's Kira Savčenko in London.
Ian Bond served as the United Kingdom's ambassador to Latvia from 2005-7 and was a British diplomat for 28 years.
Today he is director of foreign policy at the Centre for European Reform (CER) a London-based think-tank that says it is "not affiliated with any government, political party or European institution" and is funded by private donations.
