Danish Intelligence Warns Russia Could Attack NATO Country Soon
Danish intelligence has issued a warning that Russia could launch limited military strikes or deploy troops into a NATO country within months, citing an increased willingness by Moscow to take risks after over four years of war in Ukraine. The Danish Defence Intelligence Service (DDIS) noted the risk is low but growing and emphasized potential hybrid attacks such as cyberattacks and sabotage with high casualty risks. The assessment aligns with broader concerns from European security officials about Russia's escalating tactics, including efforts to divert Western support for Ukraine by sowing division within NATO. While an outright invasion of a NATO country remains unlikely according to DDIS, the possibility cannot be ruled out entirely. The report also highlighted that any troop deployment would likely require months of preparation and may not involve national insignia. NATO members bordering Russia include Finland, Norway, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. Recent incidents like a suspected sabotage at a Starlink ground station in Poland have raised concerns about hybrid warfare tactics being employed by Moscow.
