Europe Warns Russia’s ‘Hybrid War’ Is Becoming a Direct Attack on NATO - London Business News
The intelligence service said Moscow’s hybrid campaign is becoming more kinetic, with a low but growing risk of limited attacks on NATO border states.
- On September 24, the Danish Defence Intelligence Service warned that Russia will intensify its hybrid warfare campaign in coming months, presenting a low but growing risk of limited military attacks against NATO countries bordering Russia.
