Exclusive LBC interview with former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers describing ongoing Russian hybrid or "grey zone" warfare against Western states, including a foiled attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany, suspected state-linked cyber incidents against supermarket refrigeration systems in several European countries, bomb warnings disrupting flights, an attack on UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's personal home, and Kremlin efforts to promote pro-Russian political forces such as Germany's AfD and Marine Le Pen in France. Sawers frames these as part of Russia's strategy to destabilise governments of countries supporting Ukraine, in response to limited progress on the Ukrainian frontline.
