Abstract:

Since October 2023, Russia has damaged 11 undersea cables and pipelines in the Baltic Sea. In response, NATO launched the Baltic Sentry mission, allies began inspecting tankers belonging to the "shadow fleet", and the EU imposed sanctions on some of them. As a result, further incidents have been prevented since the beginning of 2025, but Russia is escalating the situation by using drones for provocations. NATO and EU countries should take more decisive action against the "shadow fleet" and strengthen cooperation with private operators of critical infrastructure.
