Foreign Intelligence Service: Russia threat not diminished by Ukraine war
Despite heavy losses incurred in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, Russia still has enough clout left at its disposal to exert military pressure in the Baltic region, the Foreign Intelligence Service (Välisluureamet) says.
The Foreign Intelligence Service published its yearbook, "International Security and Estonia 2023," on Wednesday.
"Russia's belligerence has significantly increased the security risks for Estonia, and the large-scale exercise 'Zapad 23' may further strain the situation in the Baltic Sea region," the yearbook states in its summary.
