Putin ‘will flood Europe with criminals and fighters after the war’
Published 2 weeks ago
Description
Estonia's foreign minister, Margus Tsahkna, says Putin will flood Europe with the criminals he recruited to fight in Ukraine once the war ends.
With Russia unable to reintegrate thousands of 'psychologically crazy' ex-combatants, they will be used for Wagner-style sabotage operations on a scale European governments have yet to grapple with.
In Patrick's words, 'the moment of maximum danger could be when the fighting ends.'
