The Associated Press has documented 59 hybrid attacks linked to Russia across Europe since the start of the Ukraine war over three years ago. These include cyberattacks, arson, acts of sabotage, and attempted explosives plots. NATO officials report the campaign aims to cause political unrest and reduce Western support for Ukraine. Countries affected include Estonia, Poland, Latvia, Finland, Lithuania, and Poland where major fires were publicly linked to Russia. The European Broadcasting Union also uncovered a hacking group linked to Moscow conducting cyberattacks on EU and NATO infrastructure targets. Russian intelligence is reportedly recruiting disposable agents for such operations. The Czech foreign minister cited 500 Moscow-linked hostile incidents with intensifying attacks. The Kremlin denies all accusations. This widespread campaign represents a concerted Russian hybrid warfare effort permeating multiple European countries' security and stability.
