Bogs on the Frontline; NATO Turns to Swamps to Stop Putin’s Tanks | Times Now World

Poland and Finland are turning to wetlands as weapons. According to Politico, both countries are restoring bogs and peatlands as part of NATO’s eastern flank defense against Russia. The strategy follows Ukraine’s flooding of the Irpin River in 2022, which trapped Russian tanks and stalled Moscow’s advance. Poland has already built wetlands into its €2.3 billion “Eastern Shield” border plan, while Finland is moving toward a pilot project. Baltic states remain cautious, but military leaders like Sweden’s General Mikael Claesson warn Russia could probe NATO’s weak spots. Beyond defense, the move doubles as climate policy — transforming carbon sinks into strategic fortifications. #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld #nato #russia #poland #finland #baltics #defense #geopolitics #climate #security ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
