The Netherlands-based International Center for Counter-Terrorism reports that Russia has been linked to at least 151 hybrid warfare operations in Europe since its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
According to a report released this week by the Netherlands-based International Center for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), Russia has planned or executed at least 151 hostile hybrid warfare operations targeting European countries since February 2022, when Russia initiated its invasion of Ukraine. The report states that the number 151 only includes cases where investigations or accessible evidence have allowed Moscow to be confidently identified as responsible. These operations encompass a broad range of hostile activities designed to destabilize European nations. The report highlights Russia's persistent hybrid war campaign to influence, disrupt, and degrade European security and political stability. The findings come amid ongoing efforts by European and NATO countries to counteract Moscow’s multi-domain threat actions. This assessment underscores the continued challenge posed by Russian hybrid tactics beyond the kinetic battlefield in Ukraine.
Confidence: High
The source explicitly states that Russia has planned or conducted at least 151 hostile hybrid warfare operations in Europe since 2022, attributing responsibility confidently to Moscow, clearly identifying aggressor activity. There are no described defensive or preparation actions by alliance members in the report to classify defense signals.
