Poland and Baltics Tighten Critical Infrastructure Security Amid Russian Threat Concerns
Officials say intelligence points to a possible false-flag attack using Ukrainian-made drones as Poland and the Baltics step up protection of energy and transport sites.
- Poland and the three Baltic states are tightening security around critical infrastructure, fearing Russia may stage a "false flag" attack using Ukrainian drones to test NATO's response.
- Moscow previously accused Baltic states of planning drone attacks against Russia in May, prompting fears that officials might fabricate such incidents to justify military retaliation and regain strategic advantage.
- Lithuania deployed military forces last month to secure energy terminals, while Latvia increased security around the Daugava River dam and Incukalns gas facility; Gaz-System maintains "increased vigilance" at Polish infrastructure.
- Officials worry an attack could trigger "political chaos" at NATO headquarters in Brussels as European members and the United States debate how to respond. Lithuanian Defence Minister Robertas Kaunas said, "We are increasing the security of our critical infrastructure."
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov last month dismissed warnings of clandestine attacks as "scare stories," yet Wojciech Kononczuk, director of the Polish state-funded OSW Centre for Eastern Studies, warned Moscow may spread destabilization to test Western resolve.
