Summary

The Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service has made a military assessment of Russia, and they say Moscow has no intention of militarily attacking Estonia or any other NATO member states in the coming year. They expect a similar assessment next year because Estonia and their NATO partners have taken certain steps that compel the Kremlin to look honestly and ask it could actually can be a terrible risk attempting. Meanwhile, Estonia remains a dedicated ally to Ukraine having given them over a billion euros in military equipment, humanitarian and refugee aid. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Estonian Ambassador Kristjan Prikk who says NATO and the United States need to return to better standing in order to ensure Russia does not invade anymore of their neighbors.
