Martin Herem says Russia may attack Estonia in a year. But before that, Estonia needs to consider whether we are ready.
Herem doesn't say this will definitely happen. He mentions that different people say different things. Some think Russia may attack in three years. Others say in six months.
The main question is when the war in Ukraine will end. Herem believes it could end within half a year. After that, it may take Russia six months to prepare.
If Russia is ready, it may attack Estonia. Herem asks whether Estonia is prepared for this. If not, we must accelerate our preparations.
Herem wants intelligence services to indicate when Russia might attack. He doesn't want to decide this alone. He says threat assessments aren't currently considered enough.
Many people talk about Russian threats, but no real action is taken. Herem wants more activity. He says the issue is serious.
Herem doesn't talk much about his dispute with the Ministry of Defense. He says this should be asked of other people.
