Media: Pentagon sent a signal to Europe. "Do not poke Russia"
The Pentagon has urged Baltic states, including Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, to exercise restraint regarding Russia. Elbridge Colby, Deputy Secretary of Defense, emphasized avoiding provocative rhetoric, referencing comments made by Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal. The U.S. aims for a balanced communication approach while negotiating with Russia amidst ongoing security concerns in Europe. Recent incidents of sabotage linked to Moscow have heightened tensions, including arrests in Germany and attacks on military-related sites in Estonia. The situation reflects a broader hybrid warfare strategy targeting European infrastructure and security.
