Sabotage and drones. Russian hybrid threats on the map of Europe [ANALYZA]

Hundreds of incidents in 17 countries were included in a database prepared by public media journalists cooperating with Eurovision News Spotlight.

The IISS, CSIS, and RUSI reports explain the mechanisms of this run — from recruitment and backing to the choice of targets that harm could disrupt the transportation of aid to Ukraine and NATO military logistics.
