EU ‘must respond’ to Russia’s ‘hybrid warfare’: von der Leyen

STRASBOURG: EU chief Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday said Europe must ramp up its defenses to deter Russia’s “hybrid warfare,” after a catalogue of air incursions, cyberattacks and damage to undersea cables. “These incidents are calculated to linger in the twilight of deniability. This is not random harassment. It is a coherent and escalating campaign,” the European Commission head said in a speech to EU lawmakers. “Two incidents are coincidence, but three, five, 10 — this is a deliberate and targeted grey zone campaign against Europe, and Europe must respond,” she said.
