The U.S. Pentagon has urged European NATO members to moderate their criticism of Russia amid ongoing sabotage campaigns across the continent. Officials believe that harsh rhetoric undermines security and could provoke further aggression from Moscow. Countries like Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have been specifically advised to temper their public statements. This request aligns with the Trump administration's efforts to seek a negotiated resolution to the Ukraine conflict, which may involve easing sanctions on Russia. The Pentagon's stance reflects a broader debate within NATO about how to publicly address the threat posed by an increasingly aggressive Russia, with some officials arguing that emphasizing this threat could play into Kremlin narratives.
