In August 2026, the STORM 1516 network of accounts, linked to the Russian GRU, became active in the Baltic states engaging in four separate information campaigns. These campaigns, though not highly influential, aimed to undermine the security image of the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) in the eyes of Western audiences. Specific themes included targeting the presidents of Estonia and Lithuania, highlighting the perceived failure of the Latvian government, and criticizing NATO troops stationed in the region.
