Summary

Estonia has begun naval patrols to protect critical undersea infrastructure, such as the Baltic Sea power cable connecting to Finland, following suspected sabotage.

This comes after Finland seized a Russian-linked “shadow fleet” oil tanker, suspected of damaging the Estlink 2 cable with its anchor.

Finnish authorities allege the ship may be part of a fleet used to evade Western sanctions.

NATO has announced plans to enhance its Baltic Sea presence as undersea cable damage becomes increasingly frequent, raising security concerns across the region.

    What about, I mean just hear me out on this thing, what about we don’t let those illegal tankers enter our waters?
