Europe sees rising Russian sabotage but no imminent NATO attack

European ministers warn that Russia is escalating sabotage, cyberattacks, and hybrid attacks across Europe to undermine support for Ukraine, while dismissing the threat of a direct NATO assault. Speaking at the U.N. General Assembly, officials from NATO’s eastern flank cited drone incursions, covert operations, and airspace violations as tools Moscow uses to test Western resolve and weaken backing for Kyiv. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Moscow aims to scare Europe into reducing its support for Ukraine, though no imminent military threat to NATO is seen.
