Russia’s threat is rising, says Estonia’s ambassador to Australia
Estonia warns Russia’s military buildup threatens NATO, as shifting US security policy raises concerns across Europe and the Indo-Pacific.
Last month, a little-reported publication issued a stark warning about where Russian President Vladimir Putin could be looking next.
Estonia’s foreign intelligence service concluded that Russia’s military expansion could lay the groundwork for a potential future conflict with NATO.
“Russia continues to mobilise resources and rebuild its mass army,” its report concluded.
“Should the war in Ukraine end favourably for Russia, or if hostilities are frozen, it is almost certain that Russian military units will be permanently stationed along Estonia’s borders in greater numbers than before [Russia invaded Ukraine].”
