Lithuanian, Lithuania and Estonian Baltic countries, are possible for Sabotage and cyberataka this weekend.
The Baltic States must be completely disconnected in the “Condition” network of Moscow Saturday before the end of the European electricity system on Sunday.
The movement is seen as a decisive way of strengthening electricity systems, to ensure energy independence and safety and dissolving the remains of the Soviet time to Russia.
Gert Auväärt, at the Estonian Cyber Security Center, CNBC said that the country worked with residents in the cybersecurity domain when decomposition occurs to prepare for risk scenarios.
“The transition is well anticipated and experts evaluate the likelihood of serious problems. However, Russia will try to exploit this term, in the comments made on Thursday.
“With strong international and international cooperation, Estonia is well prepared for the worst cases, although this does not mean that such threats will be implemented,” he added.
Whether Russia will leave the baltic disconification through Blell, Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithonia Mention the 2001 agreement to synchronize their energy networks – Remains left unwritten.
But the potential for revenge by Russia is considering seriously taking the Baltic Energy Ministry and transmission system operators, Eleing, Estonian state network operator.
“Preparations are complete, and we are ready to disincarnize,” Kalle Kalk, head of Eleing, said in a command on ThursdayThe process is described as a special commitment to the history of the last energy in terms of scale and complexity. “
“If important technical changes always assume certain risks, we look appropriately analyzed and analyzed appropriate action plans. With the planned transition, the average electricity consumer must not notice any changes.”
“It is not possible for a percentage of energy, however, is the situation used as a weapon. So it is dangerous to disconnect so much from Russia, because we have been connected to the Years of the Russian electricity system,” said Kalk.
CNBC has requested the Ministry of Kremlin and the Russian Energy and is waiting for a response.
Countdown ‘Energy Independence’
In Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania entered the European Union in 2004, changing relations between the nations indefinitely with Russia.
Since then, the states have searched to align the electricity networks with the rest of the EU. Given the Bloc More than 1.2 trillion euros ($ 1.24 million) Grants For synchronization, seen as a strategic priority.

Around Russia, the Russian invasion of Ukrainian was accelerated in 2022, the conflict encouraged fears among the Soviet ex-Soviet Republics – including Baltic-like attacks in the future.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia was seen as a source of energy infrastructure in Soviet, and Russia can discontinued voluntarily equipped power supply.
The Baltic States contains Russia and Ally Belarus (Latvia has two limitations, limited to Russia, Lithuania has a limit with the exception of Belarus and Kaliningrad) and has its first Soviet situation. He became a goal for “hybrid” activities, revitalize the sabotage of power and communication cables under the sea of Zibertacks.
Estonian cyberataka rose 2022 after the invasion of Russia in Ukraine, Estonia’s Auväärt told CNBC.
“These are attacked by DDOS distributed (distributed denial service), giving rise to these threats to more sophisticated operations. Estonia continues to be high level of risk. It is often difficult. To determine if it is associated with a part of a wider, “he said.
Last chapter
Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, 30 years later 30 years later, 30 years later, it is significant and symbolic.
“The movements of the three Baltic States will be a critical energy infrastructure from the Soviet networks, which is seen as a source of security,” Andrius Tursa, Central and Eastern European Advisor Tenope Risk Consulting, sent comments this week.
“Countries have promoted physical safety and cyber security of their energy systems, to deal with a symbolic and technically complex transition that has been a complex external efforts,” he noted.
Disconnecting IPS / UPS transmission system managed by Breell agreements Saturday morning, starting in Lithuania and ends in Estonia. States will make a common frequency and voltage test for the weekend, “assessing the technical and technical measures of the Baltic states to evaluate the frequency and independently,” the network operator said the network said.

The desinkructronic process ends on Sunday evening when the Baltic states link their networks with European continental network, known as the monitoring of continental or UCTER network.
The Latvian climate and energy minister, Kaspars Melnis, said he was already in the disinformation, is true that society is weaker, and the project is approached by the project, then we find incorrect information. “
“So we require public information to treat the public, not to fall from any emotionally charged notes, and to share new notifications,” said in the comments Published on the Latvian Grid Operator Hats website.
The rest of the continent’s synchronization was essential for Baltic, he added and ensured that we can maintain and control our own network and therefore do not make sure we are dependent on our residents. “
There are palpable reliefs on synchronization among the energy energy operators; Grid Operator also has a countdown of the “Baltic States Energy Independence” On its website.
