The Pentagon leadership called on the authorities of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to refrain from making harsh statements about the Russian threat. According to Reuters, the head of the Pentagon's political department, Elbridge Colby, stated in closed negotiations that statements of this type cause tension and harm the security of European countries. American officials have expressed concern over statements according to which Moscow has been "backed into a corner." According to the agency, Colby advised allies (mainly Estonia) not to "teas" Russia and to exercise restraint so as not to undermine diplomatic efforts. The Pentagon declined to comment on the content of the closed meetings. And by the way, they calmed down a bit, although they deny everything for I don't know how long. But I think after the leak they might be more active though. It is a collection of small nations. It is difficult to hear from the Americans, who now have no time for the outskirts of the Soviet Empire. Elections are such a thing.
