Russia has intensified its covert and overt attacks on Europe and entered the \u201czero\u201d phase of preparation for war with NATO, which involves creating an information and psychological state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This<\/span> is stated<\/span><\/a> in a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).<\/span><\/p>\n

As noted, on October 10, Estonia temporarily stopped traffic on a road that passes through Russian territory near the border. This happened after Estonian border guards spotted a group of seven Russian servicemen without identification marks.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Meelis Saarepuu, head of the Southern Prefecture of the Police and Border Guard Department, the uniforms of the soldiers did not indicate that they were border guards.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, Estonia submitted a request to the Russian border service, where they were told that such activity in the area is common.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Estonian Foreign Minister stated that the Russian Federation is acting “somewhat more assertively and visibly than before,” however, adding that reports of a tense situation are an exaggeration.<\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that in the future, it is planned to completely stop using the road and alternative routes are already being built.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis event is the first time ISW has observed \u2018little green men\u2019 (a euphemism used by the Kremlin to refer to Russian military forces in uniform without insignia) operating near a NATO country in the context of the Phase Zero campaign,\u201d analysts noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, a Russian military intelligence agent was detained in Poland, who was planning to carry out a terrorist attack<\/a> on the territory of three European countries using drones and explosives.<\/p>\n

By the way, Russia is actively forming the psychological and informational basis<\/a> for a possible future war against NATO.<\/p>\n

As is known, Europe is increasingly facing provocations, attacks, and information pressure from Russia.<\/a> China is gradually joining this hybrid aggression.<\/p>\n
