European Leaders Warn of Potential Russian Hybrid Attacks on NATO CountriesPreviousNext

European leaders, including Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk and France's President Emmanuel Macron, have raised concerns about potential Russian hybrid attacks involving drones, missiles, sabotage, and cyberattacks targeting NATO countries supporting Ukraine. Intelligence reports suggest Russia might test NATO's collective defense by staging strikes that could be portrayed as accidental. In response, France has initiated plans to protect critical infrastructure, while NATO and the US are reviewing military postures amid growing security tensions in Europe.
