A coordinated influence operation pushes narratives portraying NATO as a provocateur and stokes fear of nuclear escalation and World War III in the Baltics, aiming to erode public support for EU/NATO membership. Pro-Kremlin and fringe media outlets amplify these messages via RSS and YouTube, exploiting regional security concerns. The campaign leverages ongoing Ukraine war coverage to insert disinformation framing Western defense efforts as aggressive and destabilizing.
