It is noted that numerous cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, sabotage, and espionage on the part of Russia are aimed at sowing fear, destabilizing the societies of NATO countries, and influencing political decision-making, while such tactics allow Russia to counter the Alliance while remaining below the threshold of open armed confrontation.

The Kremlin, after a certain decline in 2024, has intensified espionage and sabotage activities in Europe since 2025. New approaches are being used for this - networks of coordinators, intermediaries, and low-level executors, which complicates establishing Russia's direct involvement

It is indicated that, in addition, Russia is already preparing for a potential regional conflict with NATO.

"Taken together, these actions indicate the expansion and gradual intensification of the Kremlin's aggression against NATO countries", - the CCD summarizes.
