Estonia Says Russia Rebuilding Fast but Not Planning NATO Attack Within Two Years

The assessment urges Europe to accelerate rearmament.

Overview

  • Estonia’s annual foreign intelligence report says Moscow has no plan to attack any NATO state this year or next.
  • Russian ammunition output is expanding so quickly it can both sustain the war in Ukraine and build stockpiles for future conflicts.
  • The service assesses Kremlin leaders fear Europe could field independent military options against Russia within two to three years and are working to delay that rearmament.
  • Any strike on Estonia would likely employ coordinated drones on land, at sea and in the air across the country.
  • The report says the Kremlin still treats the United States as its main adversary, seeks sanction relief through tactical engagement, and deepens cooperation with China including shared military research.
