Study Finds Russia Intensifying Sabotage Operations Against Poland and Baltic States
Russia has significantly escalated sabotage operations targeting Poland and the Baltic states since the start of its invasion of Ukraine, according to a new study. The research documents 161 sabotage operations attributed to Russia across European Union territory since February 2022, with 93 of these incidents occurring specifically in countries belonging to the Council of the Baltic Sea States. The findings highlight a concentrated Russian campaign against NATO's eastern flank, particularly targeting nations that have been among the most vocal supporters of Ukraine and critics of Russian aggression. The Council of the Baltic Sea States includes Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark, all of which have provided substantial military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine while implementing strict sanctions against Russia.
