>Vladimir Putin may be planning a ‘mini-invasion’ of a NATO country in order to test the West’s resolve, according to Poland’s top spymaster.
>Jarosław Stróżyk, head of Poland’s counterintelligence service, claims the Kremlin is considering annexing parts of Estonia and Sweden, as part of a wider plan to take over the Baltic states should Ukraine fall.
>‘Putin is certainly already prepared for some mini-operation against one of the Baltic countries, for example, to enter the famous Narva [municipality in Estonia] or to land on one of the Swedish islands,’ he told Polish outlet Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
>Yet despite his imperialist ambitions, he is currently being held back by the West’s continued support for Ukraine, which has been stronger than anticipated.
