From cyberattacks to political manipulation, the Kremlin’s evolving hybrid playbook seeks to undermine European unity, exposing critical vulnerabilities. A decisive and unified Western response is essential to counter these multifaceted threats.
Since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the Kremlin’s hybrid warfare techniques have evolved from scattered disinformation campaigns and covert operations into a systematic doctrine of disruption.
Today, this strategy combines Telegram-based influence campaigns, cyberattacks, sabotage and targeted violence against critical infrastructure – all aimed at fuelling polarisation and eroding trust in democratic systems.
