Nato calls for calm, says Russian hybrid campaign not stopping Ukraine support
European governments say Moscow is stepping up a campaign of sabotage and interference against Ukraine's backers.
Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has urged for calm amidst Russia's campaign of sabotage in Europe, stating that it is failing to undermine support for Ukraine. Speaking to journalists, Rutte said Russia is losing ground on the battlefield in Ukraine and cannot stop the unity and support for Ukraine. Estonia has become the latest country to blame Russia for an arson attack on a defense firm in August, ordering the attack through its special services.
Rutte admitted that Russia's actions can have an impact and sometimes they have a clear effect, but urged Nato countries to remain calm and continue supporting Ukraine. He stressed that while the risk remains, there is no indication that it is increasing or decreasing in the near future. Lithuania's Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius also noted the lack of proof regarding Moscow's imminent preparations for something more significant.
