This remarkable graphic reveals the true extent of Russia's shadow war against the West in 2026.As revealed by the Daily Mail, Moscow's attacks have covered the entire continent of Europe, from its fighter jets conducting perilously dangerous passes of RAF aircraft over the Black Sea, to attempted arson attacks and drones invading Nato airspace, the Kremlin is on the march.The tempo of grey zone operations has increased through the year so far while there have been greater attacks in 2026 than in 2025 and 2024.Wisely, Vladimir Putin has ensured none of Russia's actions have crossed the threshold for Nato states to cite Article 5, a move that would prompt allies to muster arms in collective defence.That said, collectively, the campaign of harassment across Europe is considered deeply alarming.Former British Army commander Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon warned: 'Putin is fighting for his political survival. Russia is building bases specifically to launch drones into Nato territory. 'The assumption that Putin is too committed to Ukraine to contemplate opening another front is clearly wrong.'Russia is stepping up its hybrid war against the West. Britain and her allies are experiencing espionage, sabotage and other malign activities. Much of this activity is never publicised as it is thwarted by our outstanding security services.
