Russia’s former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov has pointed out the countries that Russia could target next if it wins its war against Ukraine. Kasyanov, Russia’s prime minister from 2000 to 2004, told Agence France-Presse that “if Ukraine falls, the Baltic states will be next.”
The term “Baltic states” is an unofficial term used to refer to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. They became independent nations in 1991 upon the breakup of the Soviet Union and are governed as democracies today. Kasyanov also told AFP that Russian President Vladimir Putin looked “out of it” and behaved like a changed man in the days leading up to the Ukraine war.
