Estonia, a NATO member of just 1.3 million people, sits on Russia's border and has spent decades preparing for the possibility of conflict with Moscow. As Russia's war against Ukraine continues, questions remain about what could happen if the Kremlin turns its attention elsewhere.

From drone warfare training and NATO exercises to concerns about hybrid attacks and alliance unity, this report explores what Estonia has learned from Ukraine's experience and whether NATO is ready to deter Russia from testing its eastern flank.
