Poland and Baltic states set to sign deal to build gas pipeline - FT.com:
"Poland is set to sign a deal to build a highly strategic gas pipeline to the Baltic states as part of an effort to break Russia’s energy stranglehold over the three EU members.
The deal is a sign of mounting international support for Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, coming only days after the UK said it would send troops to join US and German forces in the region to shore up defences against Russia.
Energy supplies are one of the chief weak spots Moscow is able to exploit against the Baltic countries. Until recently, they were entirely dependent on Soviet-era pipelines, giving them no leverage to haggle over prices."
