Baltic States in January 2026: the most important developments in politics
In the Baltic States in January 2026, the most covered story was a warning by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on 28 January that Europe is no longer Washington's center of gravity. She described the change in the transatlantic relationship as structural, called on Europe to stop outsourcing its defense and act more independently, and suggested phasing out key veto powers among EU member states to speed up decisions.
Elsewhere in the region, Danish King Frederik X and Queen Mary visited Estonia, and Sweden's Foreign Minister visited Latvia. Ambassador de Maigret met Lithuanian Prime Minister Ruginiene. A Kremlin supporter named Gaponenko was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
