""In military science, this type of attack is called 'reconnaissance by battle,' and there are two, or rather three, objectives, though one of them is more psychological and for internal use: Putin is preparing Russia ns; he wants to destroy in their minds the idea that Europe is worth anything, that Europe is strong.""
""We see that the Russia ns aim to stir anti-war sentiment in European countries and within your public opinion. "For them, the benefit is twofold: if you, Europeans, grow tired of the war, the aid coming to us, to Ukraine, will be reduced. "At the same time, Russians spread the idea among European citizens that it's not even worth starting a war against Russia. That's not my opinion, that's the Russian perspective on the matter.""
Russian hybrid attacks on Europe are characterized as 'reconnaissance by battle' with objectives including psychological pressure and battlefield testing. Attacks include sabotage, arson of a British warehouse, cyberattacks, drone incursions and deliberate violations of European airspace. The goals include destroying perceptions of European strength among Russians, stirring anti-war sentiment in European publics, reducing aid to Ukraine, and deterring Europeans from starting a war against Russia. Deliberate airspace violations function as political and military tests of the EU. Unchecked hybrid aggression is likely to continue and challenges EU and NATO responses.
