Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are among the harshest critics of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine. The nations’ defense ministers signed an agreement to build “anti-mobility” structures to defend against military threats in the coming years, the Estonian Defense Ministry said in a statement Friday.

愛沙尼亞、拉脫維亞和立陶宛是最嚴厲批評克里姆林宮入侵烏克蘭的國家。這幾個國家的國防部長簽署一份協議，未來幾年將打造「反機動」結構物，來防範軍事威脅，愛沙尼亞國防部週五在一份聲明中說。

Estonia plans next year to start building at least 600 bunkers, each one capable of holding as many as 10 soldiers. Latvia is considering mining parts of its frontier in the event of an emergency.

愛沙尼亞計畫明年開始興建至少600座掩體，每一座能夠容納10名士兵。拉脫維亞正考慮在其邊境埋設地雷，以防突發事件。

“Russia’s war in Ukraine has shown that, in addition to equipment, ammunition, and manpower, physical defensive installations on the border are also needed to defend Estonia from the first meter,” Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said in the statement.

「俄羅斯在烏克蘭的戰爭已經顯示，除了裝備、彈藥和人力，也需要邊境上的實體防禦裝置，從第一線保衛愛沙尼亞」，愛沙尼亞國防部長漢諾‧派夫克在這份聲明中說。
