NATO will not tolerate hybrid actions against members, US envoy says
Matthew Whitaker said NATO should stay vigilant as the alliance faces drone-related hybrid actions that could target energy assets and other critical infrastructure.
- On Saturday, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said in Italy that NATO members must not tolerate deliberate hybrid actions, and the United States will support countries as they address these incidents.
- Whitaker cited specific hybrid actions in Leipzig and Poland as particularly concerning, saying, "Then you have what I would call the more concerning hybrid actions like we saw in Leipzig, like we have seen in Poland."
- Last month's attempted drone attack at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport, which Berlin blamed on Russia, proved more concerning than recent Russian drones targeting Ukraine that strayed off course, Whitaker explained.
- Outlining NATO's response, Whitaker stated, "If we can identify who's doing it—which Germany did—we make sure we express strongly that is unacceptable and we will not tolerate it."
- NATO members must remain vigilant and prepared, Whitaker added, as critical infrastructure including energy assets could be targeted and requires consistent monitoring by national authorities.
