According to a joint investigation by public broadcasters in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland published on April 19, Russian ships were sent to the Nordic seas to sabotage wind farms and communication cables. The report comes at the same time as Sweden’s largest military exercise in 30 years, Aurora 2023, together with NATO troops from 13 other countries. The use of spy vessels in the North and Baltic seas by Russia is very likely an effort to prepare sabotage plans in case of a conflict between Russia and NATO. Reports of Russian vessels will likely increase the presence of navy forces in the Baltic and North Sea, especially during Aurora 2023, risking accidental conflicts between Russia and Nordic countries. The US, EU members, and other countries in the international community should condemn Russia’s actions and provide material support to the Nordic countries to help with surveillance and sabotage prevention. #Russia #Sweden #Finland #Norway #Denmark #Sabotage #AdmiralVladimirsky #NATO #NorthSea #BalticSea https://lnkd.in/eSfrsMWf
