Russia is executing a shadow war against NATO, and Europe, in particular, does not have the tools to deter this hybrid aggression.
Europe is under attack from Russia. Why isn’t it fighting back?
Western countries have shied away from reacting to Kremlin acts of sabotage and terror.

Russian information manipulation undermines European security, and it is now powered by AI. This is not a future prospect. This is a present threat, to be addressed urgently.

Russian paramilitaries have not only been fueling migration by increasing instability in parts of Africa and by physically moving migrants to the borders & aiding smugglers, as we’ve seen in Libya, but they are liaising with commentators on local radio stations to urge listeners to migrate to Europe

Great piece - Paddy Smyth in the @IrishTimes - Russia is blatantly interfering in European elections, mostly without much response, with many other forms of attack employed too.

Russia has been at war with the EU for a decade. It’s time to stop the denialism +confront the enemy.
