Garry Kasparov, a prominent Russian chess grandmaster and critic of President Vladimir Putin, has been placed on the Kremlin’s wanted list following his warnings about a potential Russian invasion of the Baltic states. Kasparov, now living in exile, faces politically motivated charges of 'justifying terrorism' while asserting that Putin is at a 'dead end' in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He believes that in an attempt to salvage his reputation, Putin may seek a limited military success against NATO, particularly targeting Russian-speaking cities such as Narva in Estonia and Daugavpils in Latvia. Kasparov warns that British troops stationed in Estonia could find themselves in direct conflict with Russian forces, potentially without the activation of NATO's collective defense clause, Article 5. He implies that local agreements may exist that would allow for immediate military response from British and other NATO forces in the region. Reports from military sources suggest that Putin's plans for aggression in the Baltics are advancing, with the aim of triggering a major crisis within NATO. UK troops in Estonia are currently part of Operation Cabrit, contributing to NATO's enhanced forward presence.
