Intel: ‘Russia Could Make a Limited Military Attack on One of NATO’s Members Within Months’
The agency said Russia is intensifying sabotage and cyber attacks and could use limited forces without insignia in a NATO country.
- On Thursday, the Danish Defence Intelligence Service warned of a "low but growing risk" that Russia could conduct limited military attacks against NATO countries bordering Russia in the coming months.
- Russia has "intensified its use of sabotage, destructive cyber attacks and is attacking targets in Europe with drones," as the agency concluded that hybrid war is escalating amid battlefield losses and economic pressure.
- Potential scenarios include isolated infrastructure strikes, false-flag operations using Ukrainian-made drones, or deploying a "limited number of military forces, possibly without national insignia," into border territories.
- NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, U.S. Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, urged alliance members to remain "calm and confident" regarding preparedness, while the Russian Embassy in Copenhagen rejected the assessment as unsupported.
- Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that further escalation in the Baltic region would provoke a "decisive and destructive" response from Moscow, amid aggressive rhetoric from state-controlled media.
