Russia’s hybrid war on NATO’s Eastern Flank quietly escalates

Since 2014, the Kremlin has steadily escalated its hybrid war on the West through subversion, sabotage and disinformation. The recent surge in attacks on NATO’s Eastern Flank, such as in Poland, Romania and the Baltic states, underscores the intensifying nature of these threats. These operations exploit legal and institutional gaps. The West must shift from passive deterrence to a more coordinated and assertive defence of its values and systems.

Europe still needs a security council

The creation of a European Security Council could be the right answer to growing uncertainty on the continent and beyond. Such a new format would be a signal to both allies and adversaries that Europe takes its own security seriously.

As NATO member states gathered in Washington for their annual meeting this past July, they also marked 75 years of NATO’s existence. However, there was no real time or desire to celebrate, as the allies are facing an increasingly dangerous security environment and uncertainty in their own domestic political landscapes.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine almost completely consumed these talks, but at the same time nobody would deny that it constituted the most important trigger for NATO’s much accelerated adaptation to the new, harsh geopolitical reality.
