8 Places in the EUROPE That Could Be Dangerous in case of World War 3

1Vilnius, Lithuania

Vilnius takes the number-one position among these hypothetical World War 3 dangerous places because of Lithuania’s sensitive geographical position.

Lithuania is a NATO member bordering both Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad region. The wider Baltic region would likely become strategically important in any serious confrontation between NATO and Russia. Vilnius is Lithuania’s capital and largest city, making it the country’s political, economic, and transportation center. Its location does not mean the city would definitely be attacked. However, compared with cities farther west, Lithuania’s geography could make major military, transportation, cyber, and infrastructure disruption a greater concern during an extreme European conflict.
