Poland is sending extra troops to its border with Belarus after an alleged military incursion.
The border between Poland and Lithuania is a line called the Suwalki Gap.Russian exclave of KaliningradMany military analysts see the Suwalki gap as a potential flashpoint area if there were to be a conflict between Nato countries and Russia.
"This is a very narrow choke-point," says Dr Yoxon. "Russia and Belarus together would find it easy to block Nato from sending reinforcements to protect the Baltic states." However, says Professor Malcolm Chalmers from the think tank, the Royal United Services Organisation: "It's partly an exercise by Russia and Belarus to test the water and see how Nato might respond, or not respond, to incursions into Nato territory."
Dr Anais Marin from the international affairs think tank, Chatham House, says the alleged incursions were probably a Russian idea, "to make sure that Belarus remains an adversary of Poland and Nato, and a firm partner of Moscow's."What is Poland doing in response to the border tensions?
