RF may be preparing provocations with strikes on the critical infrastructure of Poland and the Baltic countries, - Reuters
As the agency writes, citing the region's intelligence services, Moscow is considering scenarios of attacks on dams, power plants, gas facilities and other sites using Ukrainian drones in order to present them as actions by Kyiv and to test NATO's reaction.
Against this backdrop Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are strengthening protection of infrastructure. In Lithuania the military are already protecting the LNG terminal and energy facilities; in Latvia — the dam on the Daugava and an underground gas storage facility.
Reuters sources note that the main aim of such a provocation may not be the damage itself but political chaos within NATO and disagreements between the US and Europe over how to respond.
