Abstract:

Publicly available intelligence from NATO countries suggests the hybrid activities carried out by Russia will be intensified. The goal is reportedly to test the Alliance’s response and cohesion, as well as to weaken support for Ukraine through allocating increased resources to protecting its own critical infrastructure. In its planning, NATO takes into account various scenarios of Russian hybrid escalation, even leading to the invocation of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Member states differ in their level of readiness to impose harsher penalties on Russia in response to any potential escalation.
