The US is working on seizing and confiscating these assets, and it is expected that Europe will follow suit once the issue is resolved in America. The Baltic countries continue to prepare for potential Russian invasion by building a defense line on their border, which includes over a thousand bunkers and various engineering structures such as anti-tank trenches and barbed wire fences. Countries like Norway, Finland, Poland, and now the Baltics, have transformed their borders into a defense line to protect themselves from the Russian threat. Internal measures are also being taken against collaboration and separatism within these countries and to purge them of Russian influence. Measures taken by the Baltic countries include a new regulation in Latvia, which prohibits vehicles with Russian registration from entering the country, except for transit purposes, and imposes fines on drivers.

Therefore, more compact, efficient options are now preferred for military groups that need to quickly move and respond to changing situations. Concerning the use ofcluster munitions against enemy infantry, they are available but are being used less and less due to their high energy consumption and limited mobility. Instead, more modern, compact, and energy-efficient options are preferred.

This situation has been ongoing since the late 1990s, and young people are reluctant to join military schools due to the guaranteed deployment to the frontlines. Despite this, conscription continues in schools, starting from middle school.
