France, UK, and the EU publicly attribute and sanction Russia's FSB 16th Centre for long-standing, state-backed cyber espionage and sabotage campaigns targeting government, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors, including a foiled major power outage attack in Poland. Hybrid warfare activities by Russia include cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and unconventional paramilitary tactics such as aiding illegal migration and sabotage against NGOs supporting Ukraine, notably in Latvia. Germany detained a Moldovan-registered flying spy drone conducting surveillance over a sensitive arms manufacturing site, indicating use of UAVs for reconnaissance in hybrid operations. Emerging defensive and diplomatic responses include coordinated sanctions by UK and EU bodies alongside increased intelligence sharing, though detailed retaliatory cyber operations by targeted states remain unreported. Significant intelligence gaps remain around timing and methods of kinetic provocations, extent of proxy involvement in sabotage attacks, and detailed operational scope of espionage UAVs.
Bulgaria vetoed an EU sanctions package targeting Patriarch Kirill, underscoring persistent divisions within the EU on sanction enforcement against figures backing Russia's war in Ukraine. Lithuania has deployed additional border guards to Latvia and is considering border controls due to rising migrant flows from Belarus, highlighting the ongoing instrumentalization of migration as a hybrid warfare tactic. Latvia enhanced security at the crucial Inčukalns gas storage facility in response to Russian threats, emphasizing vulnerabilities in critical energy infrastructure amid geopolitical tensions. Germany’s Interior Minister warned of elevated terrorist threats, prompting reforms in intelligence capabilities and expanded counter-terrorism powers, indicating growing domestic security concerns. Montenegro announced ending visa-free travel for Russians and others to comply with EU accession requirements, reflecting the use of migration policies as leverage in political and legal pressure.
