Intelligence officials report a tangible threat, encompassing both information warfare and direct acts of sabotage. Ola Svenonius of the Swedish Defence Research Agency asserts that Europe is currently in a state of conflict with Russia. This assessment suggests a heightened risk to critical infrastructure and national security. The warning highlights the need for increased vigilance and preparedness across European nations. Experts believe Russia will escalate these activities as the war in Ukraine continues, aiming to destabilize and exert pressure on European countries.
