❗️🇷🇺🇪🇪 #Russia may try to seize part of eastern #Estonia and is already jamming satellite navigation and launching reconnaissance drones, — Politico

Goal — to force NATO to start a global war (or to prove to the whole world that Article 5 on NATO's collective defense doesn't work)

About a quarter of Estonia's population of 1.4 million is ethnic Russian. Kremlin is a past master of exploiting ethnic differences to claim a special role in protecting the Russian diaspora. It's done that in Georgia and Moldova and that was the pretext for invasion of #Ukraine

Putin declared that Narva is historically part of Russia
Narva is closer to St. Petersburg than it is to Tallinn. Of its roughly 56,000 inhabitants, 96% speak Russian and a third hold a Russian passport

🪖🇬🇧 Of all NATO forces, there are only 900 British soldiers at Tapa Air Base west of Tallinn. Estonia's army has 7,700 troops. In the event of war, their number could be increased to 43,000
But that's too little if Russia strikes

🇷🇺🇺🇦 One of the OSINT researchers notes that the number of Russian attacks on Ukrainian positions is gradually decreasing

The intensity of Russian attacks was constantly growing since October 2023, when the Russians began their offensive on Avdiivka.
In May 2024, a new intensification of hostilities began, when the average number of attacks per day exceeded 100.
By November-December, the average number of attacks per day exceeded 200, and the maximum was recorded at 292 attacks per day, but has now fallen to 158 per day.

It's also noted that the Russians have temporarily stopped striking with aerial bombs with planning and correction modules.

It is too early to say how much the Russian offensive has fizzled out, since we may be talking about a temporary respite and regrouping, but this may also be evidence of a decrease in the offensive potential of the Russian Armed Forces
