Yermak Warns of Russian Hybrid Warfare Escalation Near NATO
Following damage to the Estlink 2 power cable, potentially caused by a Russian vessel, Andriy Yermak warned of escalating Russian hybrid warfare. This could involve provocations near NATO borders, potentially utilizing Russia’s shadow fleet and even North Korean or Iranian proxies. Yermak stressed that failure to act decisively against such actions risks further escalation and emboldens Russia. Previous incidents, including damage to an underwater gas pipeline, highlight the ongoing threat.
