Apart from Saxony, the chief enemies of the Veleti and Obodrites were Poland (from the beginning of the rebellion) and Denmark (in the 12th century); now and again they all formed temporary coalitions against the "Vendic" Slavs. The last great pagan shrine of the Obodrites at Arkona (on the island of Rügen) was destroyed in 1168 by Valdemar the Great of Denmark.

And the only thing I should add is that there's another sign of some
connection (or 'mutual orientation' not only in religious, but also
in political spheres) between the Vladimir's Kievan Rus' and the
mentioned groups of the Baltic Slavs: at the time they conflicted
with Mieszko I (prince of Poland) in the West, Vladimir conflicted
with him in the East (Galicia).
