"Over the past three years, Russia has waged an increasingly brazen campaign of
sabotage and subversion against Ukraine’s European allies. In 2024, Moscow
significantly escalated its tactics—turning to assassination, compromising
water facilities across several European countries, and targeting civil
aviation.
Just this week, Duma member Alexander Kazakov claimed Russian sabotage in the
Baltic Sea was part of a military operation aimed at provoking NATO and
enlarging Russia’s control over the area. While events such as the cutting of
undersea cables have garnered substantial media attention, no systematic effort
has been made to assess the full scope and nature of Russia’s actions against
Europe. Analysis from Leiden University exposes how far Russia is willing to go
to weaken its European adversaries and isolate Ukraine from vital support. It
paints a chilling picture of the potential for Russian escalation below the
nuclear threshold—and underlines the need for a concerted and assertive
European response, which has been lacking so far.
Amid increasing doubts over the United States’ continued willingness to
guarantee European security and provide military aid to Ukraine, as well as
escalating Russian attacks, Europe cannot afford to dither on increasing its
own military capabilities."
