The European Union and NATO expressed solidarity with Finland and Estonia following a sabotage investigation of an undersea power cable from a Russian vessel that caused blackouts. Finnish Customs seized the suspected ship, linked to a ‘ghost fleet’ endangering security and environmental safety. The EU condemned the attack on critical infrastructure and threatened further sanctions against Russian vessels, as Finland and Estonia enhance efforts to protect vital undersea assets. Baltic nations remain alarmed over the rising incidents of potential sabotage since 2022.
