Unexpected alliances forged in Europe: France and the Baltics

The newly forged Franco-Baltic friendship stands as an addition to the multilateral security and cooperation structures and does not mean the Baltics are trading Brussels for Paris just yet, but their revamped cooperation, particularly on cybersecurity and disinformation, is set to continue, writes Monika Bickauskaite. Monika Bickauskaite is a program assistant at the German Marshall Fund’s Warsaw office.
