On 20 May, a discussion titled “The Baltic Region: Risks of Military-Political Escalation” took place at the Moscow venue of the Valdai Club.
What are the possible scenarios for political and military escalation? What lessons can be drawn from the conflict surrounding Iran and the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz?
