European response to Russian hybrid threats

Overview

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin is attempting to escalate tensions with Europe to distract from Russian difficulties on the battlefield in Ukraine. Speaking in Oslo, Meloni urged European allies to maintain strategic cohesion and avoid reacting to provocations in ways that serve Moscow’s interests.

To strengthen Europe’s diplomatic position, Meloni proposed appointing a single representative for Ukraine, a format that would include non-EU allies such as Norway and the United Kingdom. These warnings coincide with rising concerns regarding hybrid activities on NATO’s eastern flank, including drone incidents and airspace violations.
