The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to demonstrate to his partners in European countries that the combat capability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is still preserved.
It is also reported that Kyiv aims to show its ability to inflict significant damage on the Russian economy and rear-front areas.
According to intelligence data, Ukraine is preparing new types of attacks on Russian territory. In particular, it is planned to use the territory of the Baltic states for strikes that could be carried out with the help of drones.
The source notes that Kyiv officials have attempted to persuade the Latvian capital Riga to allow the use of its territory for operations against Russia. Currently, there has been no official comment from Latvian or Ukrainian officials on this information.
In recent months, tensions between Russia and the NATO member Baltic states have been observed to be increasing further.
