Estonian Intelligence Warns Russia Unlikely to Seek Peace, Escalates Hybrid Warfare in Ukraine

Estonian intelligence agencies have issued a chilling assessment, warning that Russia is not yet seeking peace in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine and has instead intensified its hybrid warfare tactics. According to the report, Moscow is increasingly utilizing unconventional methods of warfare, including cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and other covert operations, in an effort to destabilize Ukraine and weaken Western support for Kyiv.

The warning comes as tensions continue to escalate on the battlefield, with both sides suffering heavy casualties and infrastructure being targeted by sophisticated Russian strikes. Estonian officials have expressed concerns that Russia’s tactics could continue to evolve, making the war more unpredictable and challenging for Ukraine’s defense forces.

The hybrid warfare strategy is designed to target Ukraine’s economic stability, critical infrastructure, and civilian morale, while also creating division within international alliances supporting Ukraine. The report underscores the role of misinformation and digital disruption in Moscow’s broader strategy to fracture Western resolve and discredit Ukrainian leadership.

As Russia shows no signs of backing down, the international community faces an urgent call to strengthen its support for Ukraine, both militarily and diplomatically. The war is far from over, and the battle is shifting in ways that will require new, adaptive strategies to counter Russia’s evolving tactics.
