WorldBaltics' assessment of Russia threat 'unchanged' after CIA director's Moscow visit

Estonia and Latvia said on Aug. 27 that they remain vigilant but have not changed their overall assessment of the Russian threat, despite reports that CIA Director John Ratcliffe warned Moscow against possible provocations near NATO's frontier. Latvia's prime minister said there is currently no reason for concern and that the risk of a direct Russian invasion is low.
