Leaders of NATO countries from the Baltic region will hold a security summit in Helsinki today, DPA reported.
The meeting will take place after recent acts of alleged sabotage in the Baltic Sea.
The main goal of the meeting is to discuss ways to better protect critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea and counter threats coming from Russia's so-called "shadow" fleet. These are ships that Russia uses to transport oil, for example, by circumventing sanctions imposed against it for its invasion of Ukraine.
The meeting will be hosted by Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal.
The leaders of Denmark, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden are also expected to participate in the meeting.
