I really liked the conciseness of the executive summary. Good insights and points for somewhat not following the geopolitical landscape closely.

Weird that it got through with a mistake in point 2: > Russia believes that time is on its side. To keep the war machine going, Russia is ready [missing a 'to' here] raise the stakes. Russia seems to believe it can “bomb” Ukraine to the negotiating table.

  I assume this was written in Estonian, for people who live and speak Estonian. It was then translated to English by a non-native English speaker for additional international purposes, but as a native speaker of English I'm not the primary audience. Really they did a pretty good job. I could do better (as a native English speaker), but it would a lot of effort. My rough drafts (which is all you find here) are much worse.

Interestingly, they didn't talk much about the information domain this year in the executive summary. However, an example from the report: Russia uses cyberattacks to support its strategic objectives (e.g., causing fear and weakening society’s resistance to the aggressor, disrupting the functioning of the state, and creating information noise to make it difficult to distinguish reality from disinformation). The Russo-Ukrainian war confirms that cybersecurity measures 12 make it possible to withstand cyber espionage, cyber sabotage and influence operations. Russia has had some success in its information operations. It is evident even from the number of pro-RU trolls in the comments here.

  HN is notably easy to abuse though; barebones compared to other social media operations. Which is, perhaps, part of the charm...

  If different opinion than pro-ukranian is now a pro-russian trolling, than indeed, they suceed. In democratic world we should respect dialogue and avoid using rethoric of enemy.
