Estonia's top spy chief has sounded the alarm on a disturbing trend: Moscow's alleged recruitment of marginalized individuals to carry out attacks in the West. According to the Estonian intelligence chief, countries must step up their efforts to prevent and deter this shadowy campaign, which has raised concerns about the potential for increased violence and instability. The warning comes as Europe continues to grapple with the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and as security agencies struggle to keep pace with the evolving tactics of Russian intelligence operatives. As the threat of terrorism and subversion grows, governments will be watching closely for any signs of a Moscow-backed plot to exploit vulnerable populations.
