Denmark warns citizens to prepare for 3-day crisis as Russia risks NATO strike

Denmark's defense intelligence service warns that Russia could intensify hybrid attacks on the West and may launch a "limited" military strike against a NATO member in the coming months, as Moscow appears increasingly willing to take risks after over four years of war in Ukraine. The Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) identified a "low but increasing" risk of isolated long-range weapon attacks on critical infrastructure supporting Ukraine, aiming to divert European resources and sow discord within NATO. It found no signs of a full-scale invasion, though it cannot completely rule out that possibility, and noted Russia could deploy limited troops, possibly without national insignia, near NATO borders. Danish authorities are advising citizens to prepare to be self-sufficient for at least three days during a crisis, citing potential utility disruptions from extreme weather, cyberattacks, or sabotage. This warning follows recent alerts, including Poland's announcement that a fire at a Starlink ground station was sabotage, with officials suggesting it aligns with Russia's new doctrine of attacks.
