Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas told The Daily Telegraph that British forces, together with NATO allies, have learned how to protect the country’s forests.

This could help deter any potential Russian invasion, she said, because Vladimir Putin would know “you can’t win here.”

“It is important for me that we can protect our country from the first minute,” she told the publication.

“Therefore, NATO’s plans must work in practice. If our opponent also knows this, it reduces the desire to attack us, because there is no way to win here,” Kallas said.

According to Sky News, at least 1,500 British soldiers are currently training in Estonia as part of the largest NATO exercise ever held in the country.

The entire eastern border of Estonia runs with Russia – the border city of Narva is only 160 kilometers from the second city of Russia, St. Petersburg.
