Kristen Michal, the Prime Minister of Estonia, stated that if Russia ends the war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin would face uncomfortable questions from his people, suggesting that ongoing conflict is essential for his power. Michal emphasized that as long as Putin remains in power, Russia poses a significant threat to Europe and NATO.

Estonia has been a target of Russian cyberattacks since 2007 and is enhancing its cyber capabilities to counter these threats. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
