Spy intelligence obtained by Denmark has reportedly revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is gearing up for local conflicts with former Soviet states, and is preparing for a potential war with NATO down the line.
Knewz.com has learned that the Russian autocrat seemingly has a roadmap of future conflicts after a settlement is reached regarding the Ukraine war—which, reports suggest, is likely to go in Putin's favor.
Putin has time and again stated his desire to re-establish a Russian empire—starting with Ukraine.
In order to restore Russia to the "glory days" of the Soviet Union, Putin will have to re-annex the countries it lost during the fall of the U.S.S.R. in 1991.
Going by this logic, the Baltic countries, namely Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, should be next on Putin's invasion "hitlist"—which is exactly what defense and security expert Nicholas Drummond warned back in November 2024.
According to Drummond, Putin will soon set his sights on the Baltic territories, in addition to Moldova and some parts of Africa, as soon as he is done with Ukraine.
And now, an unclassified report from the Danish Defence Intelligence Service has stated that "Russia perceives itself as being in conflict with the West and is preparing for a war against NATO."
"While no decision to initiate such a war has been made, Russia is building the capacity to make that choice if deemed necessary," the spy intelligence report stated, adding that the threat is greater if Putin sees NATO as "militarily weakened or politically divided".
The intel further said that Putin has embarked on a “major rebuilding and reform of its armed forces” aimed at "waging war against NATO."
"[Russia] has already enhanced its military capacity through the modernisation of equipment and a significant increase in military production," the report read.
The Danish military intelligence also pointed out that once Putin is done with Ukraine, "there are three different ways the Russian dictator could redirect military aggression targeting NATO."
The first option is to wage a local war with a neighboring country like Georgia or Moldova, something Putin can do in a matter of months if he redirects his military forces currently engaged in Ukraine.
The second option would take Russia two years, following which it would be able to launch a war against NATO Baltic States. The Danish spy intelligence report has named Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as potential targets in Putin's crosshair.
"The threat of a large-scale war with Europe could happen within five years, presuming the U.S. does not intervene, according to the assessment," reports have mentioned.
During his November statement, Drummond pointed out that, being NATO member states, an attack on Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania would "dramatically escalate things."
He said at the time, "Putin is a dangerous guy, a very dangerous guy and he wants Russia to be a superpower again."
Mihail Popșoi, the Foreign Minister of Moldova, said back in November 2024 that the nation is not under threat of invasion while Putin is busy carrying on the Ukraine war. He added, however, that Moldova is "safe, although safe could be a strong word given the frontlines are just 200 kilometers [around 124 miles] away."
According to reports, the governments of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are providing combat training to its citizens as threats of a potential invasion by Putin looms over the nations.
