European Nations Respond to Increasing Russian Hybrid Warfare Threats
European governments have raised concerns over an intensifying Russian 'hybrid' warfare campaign involving drones, sabotage, cyberattacks, and misinformation targeting critical infrastructure and border regions. Countries like France, Poland, Germany, Lithuania, Moldova, and Romania are preparing defensive measures, including evacuation plans and airspace restrictions. NATO acknowledges the threat but sees no immediate attack risk. The campaign aims to pressure and destabilize Europe through coordinated actions across multiple domains, often using proxies rather than direct military engagement.
