NATO considers ‘more aggressive’ response to Russia’s hybrid threats

Nato explores pre-emptive responses to deter Moscow’s hybrid tactics, including cyberattacks and sabotage, with 11 undersea cable incidents recorded in the Baltic Sea, officials said.

  • Nato officials are studying possible pre-emptive measures after a string of hybrid attacks, with Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone saying the alliance may need a more aggressive approach.
  • A Financial Times investigation found three vessels accused of dragging anchors damaged energy and communications cables in the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea, while European countries faced cyberattacks and drone incursions amid Nato's concerns over a shadow fleet.
  • Nato launched Operation Baltic Sentry in January this year and increased patrol aircraft, warships and drones, with officials calling the deterrence a positive move.
  • Legal questions remain over who can act as legal and jurisdictional frameworks complicate responses, while Russia condemned Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone's remarks on Monday as extremely irresponsible.
  • On cyber, Giuseppe Cavo Dragone said Nato is considering being proactive, but Maria Zakharova warned such remarks risk undermining efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
