"Russian Military Buildup: Impending Confrontation with NATO"

The Estonian secret service has reported that Russia is preparing for a potential confrontation with the West, citing military reform and an increase in troop strength near the Baltic states' borders. The report suggests that Russia aims to achieve military dominance in the Baltic Sea region, but the likelihood of a direct attack on Estonia this year is low. Additionally, high-ranking Baltic politicians have been placed on a Russian "wanted" list, with the Russian authorities blaming them for the demolition of Soviet memorials, while the affected officials view the designation as a badge of honor.
