An investigation by the Associated Press identified 145 incidents of sabotage in Europe related to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine. European and NATO officials have discussed these acts, which range from vandalism to cyberattacks, aimed at destabilizing the region and diminishing support for Ukraine. A notable example is an incident in Poland, where a train was attacked, and authorities mobilized 10,000 soldiers to protect the infrastructure.
Russia, through its agents, employs hybrid tactics to create chaos without incurring direct costs. The sabotage campaign has intensified, with an increasing number of fires and plots. Officials emphasize that these acts consume valuable security resources, forcing European agencies to collaborate more closely. There is also a noticeable change in the profile of the attackers, who are often foreigners with criminal backgrounds recruited by Russian intelligence services.
Despite efforts to prevent these acts, Russia continues to test European defenses, and officials warn that the methods of attack are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
