Zelenskyy: Intelligence Services Of Certain Countries Will Respond To Russia’s Hybrid Attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian hybrid attacks against European countries are set to continue, suggesting that intelligence services of some nations may respond in the near future, according to UATV English. Speaking with journalists during a press conference organized by the Office of the President, Zelenskyy emphasized that Russia's choice is to escalate the situation, regardless of the supplies provided to Ukraine.

He stated that the expected continuation of Russian hybrid activity is not linked to the availability or volume of aid to Ukraine. Zelenskyy added that the response to such actions would involve the intelligence services of certain countries, though he did not disclose further details about the involved nations or the nature of the measures being considered.

The Ukrainian president's remarks come as European nations grow increasingly concerned about Russian hybrid activity, which includes attempts to disrupt critical infrastructure, sabotage, cyber operations, and other measures intended to pressure countries supporting Ukraine. Zelenskyy's comments on his meeting with CIA Director John Ratcliffe come as Ukraine maintains close coordination with the United States and European partners on Russia's military and hybrid activities.

He stressed that Ukraine, the United States, and European countries share the view that Russia will likely continue its campaign of pressure against Europe.
