Evidence

Quotes

The nuclear threat has overshadowed Russia's hybrid attacks, which began after the annexation of Crimea and are becoming increasingly brazen, security experts say.

In recent years, Russia has increased its pressure on the borders of countries like Finland and the Baltic states, notably by weaponizing migration flows.

In October, Russian aircraft repeatedly violated the airspace of Estonia, Finland and Lithuania.

There have also been several cases of GPS jamming over the Baltic Sea.

Consequences of the hybrid war could be seen in almost every field, ranging from attempts to sabotage infrastructure to cyberattacks disrupting public institutions.
