Russia is considering hybrid attacks against individual EU countries, particularly the Baltic states, in an effort to weaken European support for Ukraine and pressure societies into pushing their governments to stop aid to Kyiv.
Andrii Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) at Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“Russia is keen to try to destabilize the EU through hybrid attacks against individual member states. I’ve been warning about this for a long time, and the enemy is considering such actions against the Baltic states,” he said.
According to Kovalenko, Russia seeks to deprive Ukraine of European support because Putin believes he will be able to destroy the Ukrainian state.
“Russia has constantly conducted intimidation campaigns against the EU – nuclear threats, the Oreshnik missile, and incursions by missiles and drones,” the CCD Chief recalled.
