Sunt statele baltice în siguranță? Vizita șefului CIA la Moscova ridică mai multe întrebări decât răspunsuri

CIA Director John Ratcliffe's secret visit to Moscow raised concerns about Russia testing NATO's commitment, particularly in the Baltic states. However, officials from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania maintain that their threat assessments remain unchanged, with no signs of a conventional invasion. Ratcliffe reportedly warned Russia against attacking NATO members, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The Institute for the Study of War noted that any potential Russian action might not involve a large-scale offensive but could include smaller attacks to gauge NATO's collective response. Despite heightened vigilance, Baltic officials assert that the threat level remains low, while preparations for hybrid attacks are being intensified.
