Russia warns Estonia that deploying nuclear weapons would lead to a nuclear threat.

Putin's Spokesman Peskov Threatens Estonia with Nuclear Weapons

Peskov stated that if NATO deploys nuclear weapons in Estonia, Russia would target the country with nuclear weapons. Previously, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said that this measure (deploying nuclear weapons) could be considered if NATO deemed it necessary for defense.

Comments: As a small country adjacent to Russia, the safest way to ensure security is to remain low-key, pragmatic, and non-provocative, rather than actively introducing nuclear forces and turning itself into a target of nuclear deterrence. Although Peskov's warning is strong, it also genuinely reflects the security red lines of a major power — once nuclear weapons are deployed in advance, it will quickly trigger equal countermeasures, turning Estonia from a NATO member state into the frontline of conflict, and its national security will not only fail to be truly protected but instead fall into greater danger. For small countries, not proactively escalating conflicts and not becoming a pawn in great power games is the most rational and responsible wisdom for survival.
