Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warned that Russia might mobilize forces to attack a Baltic state, describing it as "not ready for strong confrontation" because of its size. Estonia's foreign minister Margus Tsahkna responded that the claim does not match Estonia's intelligence, stating Russia is not concentrating troops for a NATO strike and is, in fact, moving in the opposite direction. The exchange highlights heightened tensions and differing assessments of Russian military intentions in the region. No further evidence of a Russian buildup targeting Estonia has been presented.
