From Daily Mail (caution:tabloid):
Russia is preparing a ‘military provocation’ of NATO states as Putin‘s defence against Ukraine continues to weaken, European spies have said.
Ukrainian drone attacks have increasingly targeted the infrastructure underpinning Russia’s war effort, with Putin even forced to massively scale back his Red Square military parade this year for fear of it being attacked by Kyiv‘s drones. As Putin comes under pressure, he last week threatened ‘nuclear strikes with catastrophic consequences’ if the West refuses to accept his demands over Ukraine. Latvian intelligence told the Guardian: ‘We see indications that Russia is preparing military provocations against the Baltic countries or Poland.’ However, it would not be a full scale attack.
