russia has launched an information operation against the Baltic States
russian propaganda has intensified threats and aggressive rhetoric against the Baltic States.
▫️ In particular, pro-kremlin resources publish so-called “expert opinions,” allegedly proving the involvement of the Baltic States in Ukrainian drone attacks on the territory of russia. These claims are based solely on unfounded assumptions, citing “local residents’ reports” and similar sources — without any confirmation or factual evidence.
▫️ In these publications, propaganda seeks to portray the Baltics as a “threat to russia,” a “NATO foothold,” and to justify the need for a “response to aggression,” effectively legitimizing possible escalation by russia.
Importantly, the information campaign against the Baltic States is unfolding simultaneously with the violation of Polish airspace by russian drones and the launch of the russian-belarusian military exercises “West-2025.” These are elements of a single kremlin strategy aimed at intimidating neighbors and pressuring NATO. moscow seeks to destabilize NATO member states and create division among Ukraine’s partners.
