Putin’s Hit List: Which Countries Is Russia Targeting Next?

What happens after the war in Ukraine ends? In this video, Elvira Bary explains why Putin’s regime cannot survive without the appearance of constant strength - making new conflict not a possibility but an expectation. Through an analysis of the Kremlin’s strategic storytelling, political constraints, and opportunistic pressure points, this episode examines potential targets: the Baltic states, Moldova, Central Asia, and Europe’s critical infrastructure. It also explores how hybrid warfare, covert sabotage, and non-military influence campaigns offer the Kremlin cheaper, lower-risk ways to project power. Understanding these scenarios reveals the structural logic behind authoritarian expansion and the risks facing Europe in the years ahead.
