Denmark’s defence intelligence service has warned that Russia is likely to intensify hybrid warfare against Western countries in the coming months, including possible attacks on infrastructure supporting Ukraine.
In a report published Thursday, the service described a “low but growing risk” that Russia could use long-range weapons against NATO infrastructure involved in assistance to Ukraine, according to The Guardian. It also said Moscow could carry out a limited incursion into a neighbouring NATO country using a small number of troops, potentially operating without clear Russian identification.
The assessment did not say that a broader Russian attack on NATO was imminent. Instead, it outlined the possibility of limited military action alongside an escalation in hybrid operations, a category that can include sabotage and covert activity.
The warning was issued hours after Poland said a fire at a Starlink satellite station was an “act of sabotage,” The Guardian reported.
Reuters and Sky News also reported the Danish intelligence assessment, emphasizing its warning that Russian hybrid activity against the West is expected to increase in the coming months.
