  "account": "European ministers reported on Wednesday that Russia is stepping up its use of sabotage, cyberattacks, and other hybrid methods across Europe to undermine support for Ukraine, while downplaying any capability of Moscow to mount a direct assault on NATO. Officials from countries on the eastern edge of NATO, speaking on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, detailed an escalation in drone incursions, cyberattacks, sabotage, and other covert operations aimed at instilling fear, testing Western resolve, and diminishing backing for Kyiv. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned that Europe is witnessing a rapid proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations, attributing Moscow's actions to an attempt to coerce Europe into reducing support for Ukraine.",
  "summary": "Moscow is intensifying sabotage, cyberattacks and other hybrid attacks across Europe to undermine support for Ukraine, European ministers say.",
