A few months ago, their analysts stated that the Alliance must prepare and be ready for a Russian attack by 2030. Now, these analysts, who see the axis of evil gaining strength, say that Russia can attack NATO countries bordering Russian territory and that these countries could already become targets of both direct invasion and sabotage operations. These include cyberattacks, internal sabotage, and the use of democratic tools to threaten these countries,” Dzhydzhora said.The diplomat emphasized that Russia is already preparing to conduct hybrid warfare on European soil. NATO tries to detect such threats from Russia with Ukraine’s help.“They understand that the threats are no longer far away, but very close. And often, it is Ukraine that helps them understand where Russia is already threatening them. Today, Russia can already be preparing to conduct hybrid warfare on European territory,” he concluded.On July 10, an unidentified drone from Belarus violated Lithuanian airspace.
