Russia may be preparing hybrid provocations against the Baltic states or Poland in an effort to pressure NATO countries to reduce support for Ukraine, Latvian intelligence officials told Fox News Digital on Monday, June 23. According to Fox News Digital, Latvian intelligence believes Moscow is unlikely to launch a conventional military attack against NATO in the near term but could resort to drones, missiles or other hybrid actions designed to intimidate neighboring countries.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “We see indications that Russia is preparing military provocations against the Baltic countries or Poland – not a conventional war, because Russia is not capable of that right now, but hybrid attacks, such as missiles, drones or other actions designed to send a signal: stop supporting Ukraine, or you will have your own problems,” Latvian intelligence said. Officials said their primary concern is not Russia’s current military capabilities but the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin could make decisions based on distorted information provided by state institutions. “The biggest concern is miscalculation. Russian institutions are telling Putin what he wants to hear, and that creates a dangerous cycle that can lead to foolish and senseless decisions,” Latvian intelligence said. On May 28, Latvia began installing concrete “dragon’s teeth” anti-tank barriers on its border with Russia, as a part of the Baltic Defense Line agreed by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. At the same time, NATO is preparing to assign the German-Netherlands Corps, based in Münster, splitting responsibility on the eastern flank with the existing Multinational Corps Northeast in Szczecin.
