Europe Faces Intensified Russian Hybrid Attacks: Is Retaliation Necessary?
In its annual report, the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD revealed a heightened Russian hybrid warfare campaign targeting the Netherlands and its allies, including a successful cyberattack on a Dutch public service’s digital systems. This escalating threat involves espionage, cyberattacks, and disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining critical infrastructure and societal stability, with potential for future sabotage. The MIVD cited specific examples of infrastructure mapping and targeting of internet cables and energy supplies. Russia denies these accusations.
