"This time, according to the ISS, an intelligence-based analysis ended up in the hands of Estonian officials, including police, the army, the media, banks, the Jewish community, leading NGOs, and the Office of the Prime Minister and the Adviser to the President's office."
"There is a clear reference to what goals the Russian government wishes to achieve in Estonia."
"The set of covert directions that Russia would exploit as a policy approach toward foreign environments."
