NATO is strengthening intelligence cooperation following a series of incidents linked to Russia, while Denmark warns of increased hybrid warfare risks.
NATO is increasing intelligence-sharing among allies in response to a series of sabotage and other incidents apparently linked to Russia, according to NATO’s top commander in Europe.
U.S. Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich told Reuters that the alliance has the tools and mechanisms needed to manage the risks.
His comments followed a new assessment from Denmark’s defence intelligence service.
Denmark warned that Russia is likely to intensify hybrid warfare against Western countries in the coming months.
Hybrid warfare can include cyberattacks, sabotage and other actions that remain below the level of conventional military conflict.
The Danish service also assessed that there is a low but growing risk that Russia could launch a limited military attack against one or more NATO countries bordering Russia.
The assessment does not describe an imminent NATO-Russia war.
Instead, it highlights concerns about a broader pattern of security incidents and pressure against European countries.
NATO’s increased intelligence-sharing is intended to improve the alliance’s ability to identify and respond to such threats.
The developments come as European governments continue to strengthen security measures following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
