Estonian navy steps up patrols in Baltic Sea after suspected sabotage of undersea cables
Officials say the damage to Estlink 2, a power connection with the capacity to provide half of Estonia's winter electricity needs, did not disrupt service, although it did drive up energy prices in the country and the other Baltic nations.
NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region.
