Denmark's intelligence warns Russian invasion of NATO is highly unlikely but possible, highlighting growing hybrid attack threats and sabotage preparations.
The Danish Defence Intelligence Service (DDIS) assesses that a Russian invasion of a NATO country is highly unlikely but cannot be ruled out. The risk of Russian military action against NATO is growing, with the possibility of limited military attacks or intensified hybrid attacks, including sabotage and cyber attacks targeting defense companies and critical infrastructure. DDIS notes that preparations for force buildup would take months and be hard to conceal. Denmark does not expect a conventional Russian military attack but remains alert to hybrid threats. The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) warns Russia is actively preparing sabotage operations in Denmark, recruiting locals via social media. The UK has issued warnings that Russia could attack NATO countries within four years, while US leadership has downplayed imminent attack risks.
Confidence: High
The signal documents active Russian hybrid warfare activities including sabotage preparations and cyber attacks targeting Denmark and NATO countries, plus a growing risk of limited military attacks, indicating hostile aggressor intent and preparations consistent with hybrid warfare tactics.
