Those countries are allies. Ukraine are just meat for the grinder in between for the west. Which is why the whole charade is contemptible.

The former KGB man who sent Russian soldiers in debadged uniforms into the Donbas, ordered a nerve agent poisoning on British soil and (at the very least) acted to cover up the use of a Russian air defence battery to bring down an airliner full of Dutch citizens wouldn’t find a way of interfering with the territorial integrity of the Baltic states. Sure he wouldn’t. (Especially in a scenario in which Nato has demonstrated it doesn’t have the stomach for a fight.)
