Czech Intelligence Chief Says Russia Could Resort to Riskier Operations
Michal Koudelka said Moscow could use sabotage, cyberattacks and other disruptive tactics within months to pressure NATO and aid Ukraine.
- On Monday, Michal Koudelka, director general of the Czech Security Information Service, warned that Russia could launch riskier operations in NATO member states within months, adopting a strategy of "escalation for de-escalation."
- Koudelka outlined potential threats including sabotage of aid facilities, drone attacks on weapons depots, or limited military action against alliance neighbors, while noting "Russia has all its forces concentrated in Ukraine."
- Moscow's hybrid activities aim to weaken unity within the NATO military alliance, according to Koudelka, whose agency is closely monitoring operations targeting the Czech Republic and its allies.

- While Koudelka emphasized that direct military conflict is not an immediate threat, officials remain concerned Russia could expand confrontation beyond Ukraine through disruptive hybrid operations.
