The Kremlin systematically employs tools of hybrid aggression against NATO countries. This is reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CCD), citing a report from the military intelligence and security service of the Netherlands, UNN informs.
Details
It is noted that numerous cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, sabotage, and espionage on the part of Russia are aimed at sowing fear, destabilizing the societies of NATO countries, and influencing political decision-making, while such tactics allow Russia to counter the Alliance while remaining below the threshold of open armed confrontation.
The Kremlin, after a certain decline in 2024, has intensified espionage and sabotage activities in Europe since 2025. New approaches are being used for this – networks of coordinators, intermediaries, and low-level executors, which complicates establishing Russia's direct involvement
– as stated in the report.
It is indicated that, in addition, Russia is already preparing for a potential regional conflict with NATO.
"Taken together, these actions indicate the expansion and gradual intensification of the Kremlin's aggression against NATO countries", – the CCD summarizes.
