This is how the Russian Foreign Ministry reacted to large-scale exercises in the country.
The Russian Federation is again threatening Estonia and urging it to “draw conclusions” from the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This is how the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commented on the largest international military exercises in Estonia’s history, which will be held from May 5 to 23. Zakharova said that Estonia should “look at Ukraine and draw a conclusion”:
“It is used for prospective purposes. The result of such a loss of critical thinking is always sad.”
This is the Siil (Hedgehog) 2025 exercise, which will involve more than 16,000 military personnel from Estonia and NATO allies, including the United Kingdom and France. The aim of the exercise is to test the ability of the Estonian Defence Forces and NATO units to respond to various threat scenarios, as well as to practice mechanisms for the rapid arrival and integration of additional NATO forces into the country’s defense structures.
Russia threatens the Baltic states
As is known, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia remain at the epicenter of threats from the Russian Federation. The Baltic states consistently support Ukraine and actively participate in the sanctions policy against Moscow.
After the start of a full-scale war in Ukraine, they are strengthening their defense capabilities, increasing cooperation with NATO allies, and increasing military budgets.
In addition, these countries announced their withdrawal from the Convention on the Prohibition of the Production and Use of Anti-Personnel Mines.
Recently, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, threatened the Baltic countries and Poland that they would be the first target if war broke out with the North Atlantic Alliance.

The conclusion is easy.
Don’t trust Putin as far as you can throw him.
He will use anything as a weapon.
Be prepared for aggression of any type.
They may be all giddey over supposedly have Trump on their side but so far they have not got a thing from him. While he has reduced support for Ukraine, Trump also recently renewed the
Bidden sanctions. Europe has strengthen it determination and support for Ukraine and they are less dependant on foreign supplies.
Ukraine still has plenty of support in the US particularly in Congress so how much pressure Trump can put on Zelensky is limited and his paticens with Putin’s stalling is also limited. So Zelensky is holding far more cards in this game than Trump realized. (maybe he should listen to his intelligence briefings instead of trusting Putin,)
Proof of that is the fact that the US has agreed to not include previous aid as debt of the minerals deal. Which could make the deal a huge win for the US and Ukraine.
This skank doesn’t have to tell anyone to make conclusions. Everyone already has; that mafia land is an evil shithole and can’t ever be trusted. It should be made to go extinct, which would be the best thing for this planet and its inhabitants.
