London — There is a “real and present danger” that Vladimir Putin will launch a campaign of undercover attacks to destabilize the Baltic states now that a cease-fire has been reached in Ukraine, the U.K. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has warned.
Fallon said the Russian president may try to test NATO’s resolve with the same Kremlin-backed subversion used in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.
A murky campaign of infiltration, propaganda, undercover forces and cyber attack such as that used in the early stages of the Ukraine conflict could be used to inflame ethnic tensions in Estonia, Lithuania or Latvia, he said.
