Neo-Nazi Russian militia appeals for intelligence on Nato member states

Move by Task Force Rusich raises fears of rogue paramilitary attacks on Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia

A neo-Nazi paramilitary group linked to the Kremlin has asked its members to submit intelligence on border and military activity in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, raising concerns over whether far-right Russian groups are planning an attack on Nato countries.

The official Telegram channel for Task Force Rusich" - currently fighting in Ukraine on behalf of the Kremlin and linked to the notorious Wagner Group - last week requested members to forward details relating to border posts and military movements in the three Baltic states, which were formerly part of the Soviet Union.
