President Putin’s New Year message focused on military success, not diplomacy. On the ground, Russian troops are pushing to consolidate their gains. Meanwhile, tensions spill into Europe: Finland intercepted a Russian vessel suspected in cable sabotage. NATO is responding with increased presence in the Baltic. With diplomacy faltering and hybrid threats spreading, the war’s shadow continues to darken the region.
