Brussels fears hybrid attacks from Russia in the European electoral supercycle that opens with Spain

Several European countries, including Germany, Poland, and the Baltic states, have recently experienced attacks on their infrastructure, which are believed to be orchestrated by Moscow. These attacks, described as a "hybrid threat," involve a mix of drone incursions, cyberattacks, assassination attempts, sabotage, and disinformation campaigns.

The threat is seen as an attempt by Russia to blur the line between war and peace and to destabilize the European Union, particularly in the lead-up to elections in several countries. The EU and NATO are concerned that these attacks will escalate, especially with a series of elections scheduled for the upcoming political year.
