Military and police forces have been deployed to protect facilities such as power plants and gas terminals. Officials cite intelligence assessments warning of potential sabotage aimed at testing NATO's response, while the Kremlin denies these claims, calling them scare stories. The countries are coordinating closely to safeguard key assets.
