No. It’s not russian propaganda.

Estonian parliament discussed today a bill that would allow their navy to sink ships that damage undersea cables, on which Estonia depends for their energy and communication needs.

This is the FO stage of FAFO for Russian & Chinese shadow fleet operators, who no doubt have been taking in hefty ”donations” from the FSB for the crimes.

"Now Meta has announced Waterworth, the company’s plan to build the world’s longest submarine cable system. It will be Meta’s first single-contract private cable of this scale. It will be built primarily for the company’s internal consumption. The longest cable in the world will thus be owned by a single Silicon Valley firm.

This shift may be significant to policymakers concerned with concentration in digital markets and infrastructure: not only do Big Tech firms dominate digital platforms and services, but increasingly also the physical underpinnings of the digital world. Rather than renting capacity from infrastructure providers, the firms are vertically integrating infrastructure with their content services. Around 60 new submarine cables are planned up until the year 2027. Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon are all investing in new submarine cable systems.

Waterworth’s route diverges from more established cable corridors. The current longest cable, 2Africa, starts from Europe to circle Africa and the Middle East. Waterworth skips Europe and China to connect the United States directly with major markets in the Southern Hemisphere. Unlike many existing intercontinental cables, Waterworth’s choice of route avoids geopolitical hotspots like the Red Sea and the South China Sea."

Eagle S leaves Finnish waters.

The vessel has been released from custody as the investigation continues. The Cook Islands-flagged Eagle S tanker is suspected of involvement in subsea cable damage in the Gulf of Finland last December.

The ship is thought to be part of Russia's "shadow fleet" of sanctions-busting oil tankers.

Brussels sets out plan to protect undersea cables from hybrid warfare.

The European Commission has outlined its plan to protect undersea critical infrastructure following multiple acts of sabotage on submarine cables in the Baltic Sea.

The plan, prepared "with urgency in mind", is built on four pillars - prevention, detection, response, and deterrence - to ensure the European Union is prepared for the worst.

The current repair efforts are focused on the Baltika cable, which is owned by the Russian state company Rostelecom. Repairs are expected to take about a week, depending on weather conditions.

Finnish authorities did not comment on whether the Baltika subsea cable damage was related to cable incidents impacting Finland.
