“Hybrid schmybrid.” says the Estonian spy chief in this rare interview. We should abandon euphemisms, according to Kaupo Rosin of @valisluure, and call Russia’s sabotage and subversion by its proper name of “state-sponsored terrorism”. The UK’s @Telegraph has done a great write up in praise of Estonian spies who “pound for pound” can “probably knock us into a cocked hat” according to his British counterpart at Mi6. (It apparently means they are very good). On reports that the CIA Chief visited Moscow to warn against an attack on NATO, Rosin says: “I think that’s a bit exaggerated and there were other topics discussed.” Rosin offers some insight into Russia: “What we see is that in Russian society, by now, everybody ‘knows’ that the mobilisation will come. There is a lot of talk about it in Russia. Everybody knows somebody who works in the military who has said that mobilisation will come.” “I do not see a street revolution happening at this point. More important is what people who have access to money, weapons and information – what do they think? In these circles, there is no more talk about total victory. People are discussing different scenarios, and mainly how to end this [war] in a proper way.” He points to the Prigozhin mutiny as a sign of how hollow and surprisingly weak the system might be on the inside. “I would say, if something changes in Russia, then it will happen in a very rapid manner and we will all be surprised. It will be an overnight thing, if it ever happens.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08…
