Estonian PM: Russia may escalate hybrid attacks but unlikely to test NATO defense

NATO and EU states are confronting an increase in Russian hybrid attacks, including sabotage and drone incursions, with NATO asserting all response options are available. While European cooperation against these threats is intensifying, a unified pan-European strategy remains absent, leading to uneven response capabilities across the bloc. The potential for NATO escalation is signaled by Stoltenberg's remarks, though direct Russian testing of NATO's collective defense is assessed as unlikely by Estonian leadership.
