Story summary

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called for calm on Thursday as a Danish intelligence agency warned of an expected increase in Russian hybrid attacks, such as sabotage and drone incidents, across Europe. Despite these concerns, Rutte stated that NATO is prepared to handle such threats with existing action plans. He also suggested that the rise in hybrid incidents indicates President Vladimir Putin's weakening position in Ukraine’s five-year-long war. To counter this, Rutte recommended providing Ukrainian armed forces with additional weapons.
