Is Russia fighting NATO by sabotaging 'green movement' in Baltic states?

Leaked documents indicate that Russia is attempting to sabot environmental campaign activities in Baltic in order to increase its influence and sway public opinion against NATO's military deployment. Moscow's freedom to maeuvre in area has shrunk as Finland joined alliance, Sweden is getting ready to do same, and three Baltic states have built up ir military defences, Times reported

Baltic Sea has historically been of great strategic importance to Russia, t least because its ports are crucial for trade. Plans to try to rebuild Kremlin's position in Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania, which were created for one of President Putin's closest advisers and made public last week by a number of European news sources, however, exposed limits on what Kremlin can actually accomplish in region.

Challenges of Baltics, Russia relations

Kremlin has failed to increase its influence over Baltic ecomies or to fortify pro-Russian political parties re. Moscow is attempting to capitalise on worries over sea's ecological destruction, leaks suggest.  creation of a Russian front body called Baltic Platform is suggested in a strategy document that appears to have been given to Putin's administration four or five months ago in order to capitalise on concerns about environmental dam, Times reported.

Over past few decades, a number of marine species have gone locally extinct due to heavy industrial pollution, overfishing, and global warming. However, it appears that re are at least two additional goals. first goal is to increase Russia's contacts with businesses, politicians, researchers, and civil society organisations in area in order to lay foundation for later influence and espion operations, according to Aleksander Toots, deputy head of Estonia's domestic intelligence ncy, kwn as KAPO.  second was to attribute majority of harm to West, "Anglo-Saxon" world, and hence NATO, according to papers.

Presidential Directorate for Cross-Border Cooperation, a Kremlin think tank that answers to Dmitry Kozak, Putin's deputy chief of staff, created leaked plans. y may or may t have become official government policy, but several security organisations in regions claimed y were consistent with earlier Russian strategies, Times reported.
