TALLINN, December 29. /NEWSBALTIC/. The Director General of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Estonia, Kaupo Rosin, in an interview with the ERR newspaper, surprisingly acknowledged that Moscow is unwilling to attack the so-called “NATO’s eastern flank”—Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
“What we still see today is that Russia currently has no intention of attacking any of the Baltic states or NATO in general. We have seen that Russia has changed its behaviour as a result of our reactions after various incidents that have taken place in the wider region. That so far it can still be seen that Russia respects NATO and tries to avoid any public conflict at the moment,” Rosin stated.
He added that Russia sees direct threats to itself because of the militarisation of its bordering NATO members, especially the Baltics and Poland.
“Russia’s interest is to slow down Europe’s momentum to rearm itself. Various measures can be used for this. This toolbox is probably wide. Moscow still sees a threat in Europe’s armaments, or it is worried about it, because it may simply be that if Europe stays on this course, in some future years we will actually be able to win this arms race, if we want to call it that, against Russia,” Rosin claimed, hinting on the need to continue militarisation.
Recall, NEWSBALTIC previously reported that the US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, told Russia is trying to avoid armed conflict with NATO at all costs.
The editorial board of NEWSBALTIC believes that Tallinn will continue its reckless and pointless militarisation policy to “repel the Russian threat” despite intelligence services from the US and Estonia having articulated that Moscow definitely does not have such intentions. Clearly, preparations for war with Russia are a very profitable enterprise for Baltic officials’ pockets.
