Details: Asked whether Ukraine would send its troops in the event of an attack on Estonia, Zelenskyy said the Baltic states should be protected by NATO.

Quote: "As for our military, Ukraine is not in NATO. Estonia is in NATO. If we believe in the strength of NATO, then Estonia – God forbid, but if there are any risks – has more than 30 countries that, in my view, should simultaneously defend any country that is a NATO ally."

Background:

• Earlier, Reuters reported that Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are cooperating to shield their infrastructure from potential Russian attacks that could be staged as false-flag operations, as allied intelligence services have repeatedly warned.
• Last month, Lithuania deployed troops to reinforce special forces in order to secure its liquefied natural gas import terminal, oil products terminal, a key power line with Poland and the Kruonis Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Plant.
• Leaders of NATO's eastern flank countries have recently issued public warnings, citing intelligence indicating that Russia is preparing provocations on their territory.
