Russia is engaged in a hybrid war against the West and has managed to convince people that, if they support Ukraine, their countries risk to be drawn into an actual war, according to hybrid war expert Mitchell A. Orenstein, a professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of “The Lands In Between”
The Baltic States are being targeted by Russian disinformation which is using both narratives launched before the war in Ukraine and newer ones.
For the Baltic States and NATO, the best outcome of the war in Ukraine would be a complete defeat of Russia, according to the president of the Baltic Security Foundation, Olevs Nikers. However, Nikers feels that the most likely scenario for the end of the war would be a peace agreement, which means that the Baltic states and the Western world will be forced to deal with Russia on the long run.
