A new map discovers “Vladimir Putin’s “shadow war” on NATO territory. This is a report from the United States Helsinki Commission that describes how Russia has been orchestrating attacks on critical infrastructure, campaigns of violence, armed migration and disinformation campaigns in the West.
According to the British mediathis new plan is presented for “visualize the breadth of the Kremlin’s efforts“. Thus, “officials have mapped almost 150 hybrid operations that they say have been executed on NATO territory. These have occurred since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and have been attributed or suspected to Russia.” In Spain there are two points: one in Madrid, and another on the Alicante coast.
The document, collected by the newspaper, reports that “since the beginning of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian sabotage campaigns in North America and Europe have accelerated“.
“The calculated hybrid war attacks show that Russia’s antagonistic foreign policy knows no limits. Along with its war in Ukraine, Russia is simultaneously executing a shadow war with NATO to destabilize, distress and deter the transatlantic alliance of his firm support for Ukrainian sovereignty,” he says.
The report asserts that the escalation of Russia’s recent campaigns represents more than just “mere destabilization shenanigans“Rather, Russia is engaged in a calculated posture toward the transatlantic alliance to pair it with its genocidal invasion of Ukraine.”
“These campaigns can range from cyberattacks on train stations that cause scheduling delays to assassination attempts and terrorist plots,” concludes the publication, which also exposes that “the scale and calculated nature of Russian hybrid threats within the borders from NATO from 2022 amount to a hidden war in the shadows.
