Denmark's defense intelligence predicts Russia will escalate hybrid warfare against NATO and the West in coming months, including sabotage, cyberattacks, limited military attacks, and false-flag operations.
Denmark's defense intelligence service warned that Russia is likely to intensify hybrid warfare activities against the West and NATO countries in the coming months. This includes more frequent attacks with greater consequences such as sabotage, cyberattacks, limited military strikes with long-range weapons like drones or missiles on infrastructure supporting Ukraine, and possible false-flag operations using Ukrainian-made drones. There is also a 'low but growing risk' of limited military attacks or troop deployments along NATO's borders under pretenses like protecting Russian minorities, aiming primarily to divide NATO rather than occupy territory. The warning follows recent incidents including a Russian frigate firing flares near a Danish military helicopter and a suspected Russian drone attack in Germany. The Russian embassy in Denmark denies involvement in hybrid warfare and accuses the West of escalating tensions.
Confidence: High
The signal comes from official Danish defense intelligence warning of imminent and escalating malicious hybrid warfare activities by Russia, including sabotage, cyberattacks, and potential limited military operations against NATO countries. Past incidents such as the flare firing and drone attacks corroborate the aggressive nature.
