Kremlin coordinates extensive hybrid information warfare operations targeting the Baltics, including propaganda, infiltration of media, social manipulation, and symbolic provocations from Moscow.

On November 27, 2023, a detailed analysis of recently leaked documents from the Russian Presidential Administration exposed structured Kremlin information warfare operations aimed at the Baltic states, Moldova, and Belarus. The operation is coordinated by Alexey Zhuravlyov, head of the Kremlin's interregional and cultural ties department, employing operatives with intelligence backgrounds. Pro-Kremlin journalists in Latvia, including those awarded by the Russian Embassy, amplify anti-Western messages. In Estonia, pro-Kremlin Telegram chat groups consisting mainly of Russian-speaking locals disseminate chauvinist and anti-NATO content, while in Latvia social media influencers linked to the Russian regime continue disinformation campaigns. Additionally, well-funded pro-Kremlin 'antifascist' groups operate Telegram channels coordinating efforts such as creating a Baltic 'fascists' database with DDoS protections and commissioning costly propaganda statues opposite the Latvian embassy in Moscow. These activities highlight a multifaceted Kremlin strategy to destabilize Baltic societies through information operations and psychological warfare.
