Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service (EFIS) published today its annual report „International Security and Estonia 2026“. In our assessment, Russia has no intention of militarily attacking Estonia or any other NATO member state in the coming year. We are likely to reach a similar assessment next year because Estonia and Europe have taken steps that compel the Kremlin to calculate very carefully what, if anything, it can risk attempting. Even if no such intention exists today, our task is to ensure that this remains the case tomorrow and in the future.

On Kapo's proposal, the @police sent out a Russian citizen, Andrei Zhuravlyov, from Estonia, whom Russia planned to use to gather intelligence. Such action is part of the preparation of a hybrid attack. Do not fall for it and let us know if you have received a similar job offer from Russia.
