German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on a visit to the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on Tuesday said Russia had broken all the rules that countries had been abiding by for decades.
He assured Baltic State leaders that Nato is fully committed to defending every centimetre of the alliance’s territory.
The three Baltic countries all border Russia, and Latvia and Lithuania border Russian ally Belarus.
Thousands of Nato soldiers, including German troops, are stationed in the three countries.
Scholz assured his listeners "we are demonstrating unity in the face of Russia's aggression.”
The Chancellor spoke of the allocation of €100 billion to the German Army, saying that would help it become the strongest armed forces in Europe and the most powerful in Nato.
He said that support for Ukraine would be provided for as long as it was necessary.
