According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) the Kremlin could be preparing to conduct false flag attacks in the Baltic Sea.
The ISW also said that the Kremlin could attack Russian opposition politicians who live overseas to discredit Ukraine.
The ISW said that the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service claimed that Ukraine and the West are planning to “blow up foreign vessels” in the Baltic Sea.
“The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed on February 11 that Ukraine‘s Main Military Intelligence Agency (GUR) with assistance from unspecified Western countries intend to blow up a foreign vessel in the Baltic Sea to prompt NATO to block Russia‘s access to the Baltic Sea and start a direct armed conflict between Russia and NATO.
“The SVR claimed that unspecified European intelligence services and Ukraine‘s GUR also plan to assassinate Russian opposition figures living abroad and blame Russia for the assassinations to undermine future peace negotiations.”
