They have extremely small territories with minimum military presence and hence the onus is on NATO to ensure they are safe and secure especially in context to the latest events in Europe . Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are extremely prone to attack. Even though these three nations are at extremely different positions when compared to that of Ukraine , at the same time, Russian aggression has been immensely growing in recent years and that essentially puts them in danger.
