Russia may intensify hybrid warfare against NATO in coming months, Denmark warns; Putin rejects claims
For now, the Danish assessment distinguishes between increased hybrid activity, which it expects in the coming months, and a full-scale attack on NATO, which it considers highly unlikely.
Denmark's Defence Intelligence Service has warned that Russia may intensify its hybrid warfare against NATO and Western countries in the coming months, raising the risk of a limited military attack on a NATO country bordering Russia. The assessment, released on September 24, describes a "low but growing risk" of such an attack, which could take the form of drone or missile strikes against Ukraine-supporting infrastructure, or a false-flag operation using Ukrainian-made drones.
Russia's Defence Minister also rejected claims that Moscow is preparing for a conflict with Europe, stating that the country has "no real motive" to escalate tensions. The warning comes amid growing concerns over alleged Russian-linked sabotage, cyberattacks, and hybrid activities across Europe.
