Estonian Prime Minister Kallas says Russia is conducting a “shadow war' against the West. Estonia and other European countries are seeing a rise in sabotage and spying.
Perched on the open ramp at the rear of a British Chinook helicopter, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas flew home from the annual Spring Storm military exercises, pleased to see NATO allies cooperating. But she later said that other types of warfare were on her mind. Her nation, which borders Russia, has seen a rise in sabotage, electronic warfare and spying — all blamed on Moscow.
Kallas says Russia is carrying out a 'shadow war' against the West. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda urged vigilance, saying Tuesday he had information that 'acts of sabotage can happen again.' Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at least nine people were recently arrested on suspicion of beatings and arson, allegedly directed by Russia’s secret services, and described them as Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish nationals, some 'from the criminal world.
The threat of sanctions and reduced opportunities for travel and study abroad can also help discourage younger Russians from joining security services. Russia seeks 'to sow fear' and break Western support for Kyiv, Kallas said. Vseviov said Putin wants to use every tool available, including the shadowy attacks, to 'undermine our unity, collapse our policy and destroy the collective West, as we know it, as a functioning body.
