NATO steps up intelligence sharing amid wave of suspected Russian sabotage
NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Alexus Grynkewich said the Allies have stepped up intelligence sharing in response to a wave of acts of sabotage and other incidents likely linked to Russia, and called for calm amid threats from Moscow.
NATO is ramping up intelligence-sharing efforts in response to a surge of suspected Russian sabotage, according to reports from Ukrinform and Reuters. NATO's top commander emphasized that while the situation should not cause panic, the alliance remains vigilant and prepared to handle any potential threats from Moscow. The commander pointed to recent incidents, such as an attempted drone attack on Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport and a Russian vessel firing signal flares at a Danish military helicopter, as evidence of the increasing hybrid warfare against Western countries.
Supreme Allied Commander Europe stressed that NATO possesses the necessary tools and mechanisms to manage the risks posed by these attacks. He reassured that despite the likelihood of Russian aggression, the alliance is confident in its capabilities to defend every inch of its territory. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte echoed this sentiment, reiterating that European leaders must remain focused on supporting Ukraine amidst the ongoing Russian attacks, including strikes on energy infrastructure.
