The head of the Czech Security Information Service warned Monday that Russia could escalate to riskier and more significant operations in NATO member states backing Ukraine within months, describing Moscow’s approach as “escalation for de-escalation.” Such operations could include sabotage at facilities tied to Ukraine aid, drone or missile strikes on weapons depots, or in an extreme case limited military action against a neighboring alliance member, though he stressed the last scenario is not currently immediate since Russia’s forces are concentrated in Ukraine. He said the hybrid campaign is aimed at weakening alliance unity, while Moscow has repeatedly denied involvement in sabotage or hybrid warfare.
