A recent mass shooting in Ukraine suggests a resurgence of Kremlin-sponsored terrorism, echoing Cold War Soviet tactics across Europe.

Peter Zeihan discusses on his YouTube channel that during the Cold War, Soviet intelligence agencies actively sponsored or created terrorist cells throughout Europe. He suggests that a recent mass shooting event in Ukraine indicates a potential return to these tactics by Kremlin forces. This reflects an ongoing hybrid warfare element involving terrorism in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Public comments on the video emphasize that Russian terrorism tactics never ceased, implicating Kremlin-backed terror as a sustained tool of pressure and destabilization in the region. The discussion underscores the use of targeted violent acts as part of Russia's broader hybrid warfare strategy.
