According to reports by the German media BILD citing Western intelligence data, if the war in Ukraine ends on Moscow's terms, the Kremlin may deploy its troops to NATO borders, with Finland, Norway, Poland and the Baltic states being the first targets.

Estonia's Minister of Defense, Peeter Pikku, pointed out that even if a ceasefire agreement is reached, Russia will not disband its 800,000 troops but may use them for new offensives.

The sources of BILD reported that Moscow has made infrastructure preparations for troop mobilization and may deploy troops to Belarus under the pretext of the large-scale military exercise "West-2025" in 2025, thus approaching the EU border.

The media reminded that Russia had also deployed troops to the Ukrainian border in a similar manner in 2021. Currently, the potential target of the Kremlin may be Lithuania or Poland.

"If the war continues, the exercises are just exercises. But if the war stops on Russia's terms, the exercises could be the prelude to a new war - this time against us," the source of BILD said.
