Recent media reports from outlets including The Guardian, Fox News, and The Telegraph have sparked concerns about a potential Russian attack on Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. However, an investigation by Delfi news portal and the Baltic Flank reveals that security officials in several countries have found no evidence of an imminent threat. Since spring, rumors have circulated about a secret Russian meeting where a directive was allegedly given to draft plans for hybrid provocations—actions below the threshold of NATO's Article 5 collective defense. Potential targets reportedly included the Baltic states, Poland, Finland, and Moldova.
