  "account": "Finland's President Alexander Stubb contends that Europe's overreaction to Russian threats is misguided, as his intelligence suggests no imminent danger of a full-scale military confrontation. While some European leaders warn of potential Russian strikes on NATO territory within months, Stubb maintains that Russia lacks the interest and capability to escalate to such a level. He acknowledges Russian activity but asserts that it poses no immediate threat. Stubb argues that Europe should prepare for Russia's continued hybrid and sabotage attacks, but avoid overreacting to them, as Russia aims to scare its allies and reduce support for Ukraine. Germany's recent decision to hold Russia accountable for a drone attack in Leipzig is deemed appropriate, as it sends a clear message to Moscow. Stubb emphasizes the importance of remaining cool, calm, and collected during Russian intimidation tactics.",
  "summary": "Stubb says the main goal of Russian sabotage abroad is to spread panic so that partners provide less support to Ukraine.",
