Vladimir Putin is ready to launch an invasion of Nato nations and annex parts of Estonia and Sweden to test the West, the head of Poland's counterintelligence service has warned.
Jarosław Stróżyk said Putin is in a position where he could begin planning a small-scale invasion but is holding back due to the West's response to the attack in Ukraine.
"Putin is certainly already prepared for some mini-operation against one of the Baltic countries, for example, to enter the famous Narva [municipality in Estonia] or to land on one of the Swedish islands," Mr Stróżyk told Polish paper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
He added: "What the West is doing together to support Ukraine shows him that in the event of an attack on Nato, the Western response would be even greater."
He said his predictions over a potential attack are only based on a few presumptions from agencies but Russia is capable of making such a move.
It comes as several member states have already begun alerting citizens about potential Russian aggression.
