WASHINGTON, June 3, 2014 – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel met
today in Brussels with the defense ministers of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Hagel and his Baltic nation counterparts discussed a number
of common security concerns, Pentagon officials said, including recent actions
by Russia in and along the Ukrainian border and the subsequent reassurance
measures taken by the United States and NATO.
The secretary thanked the three nations for their continued
participation in these reassurance measures, officials added.
“The Baltic nation representatives thanked Secretary Hagel
for the ongoing support from the United States,” officials said in a statement
summarizing the meeting. “The four leaders also discussed their continued
cooperation and the future implementation of the $1 billion European
Reassurance Initiative President Barack Obama announced earlier today.”
