Finnish intelligence official Teemu Liikkanen from Supo states that the threat of Russian sabotage in Europe has increased over the summer, including in Finland. Vulnerable Finnish targets include the defence industry and activities supporting Ukraine. Russian sabotage activities have occurred in countries backing Ukraine for several years, with a notable decrease in 2025 but now rising again. Retired colonel Jyrki Isokangas highlights Russia's intent to undermine Western support for Ukraine by creating a divisive atmosphere, although he does not believe Russia seeks military confrontation with NATO. Russia is suspected of arson at a Starlink satellite station in Poland recently. Finnish President Alexander Stubb has urged citizens to mentally prepare for possible sabotage acts.
