• Estonian leadership rejects Ukrainian rhetoric regarding an imminent Russian attack on Baltic soil.
• Foreign Minister Tsahkna highlights intelligence discrepancies between Tallinn and Kyiv.
• Public questioning of NATO solidarity is viewed as a liability for regional security architecture.

"The Estonian government has publicly pushed back against President Zelensky’s claims regarding an imminent Russian offensive against the Baltic states.
