Key Points:
- EU High Representative Kaja Kallas expressed concerns about political groups in Europe that ignore the threat from Moscow, following the far-right Alternative for Germany's victory in Saxony-Anhalt state elections.
- Kallas warned that sabotage and hybrid operations by Russia are approaching European borders, and passive political movements opposing action are gaining momentum, potentially weakening Europe's defense readiness.
- She emphasized that while the German regional election is a national matter, Europe's ability to counter future hybrid threats could be compromised if defensive measures remain insufficient.
- The German government formally accused Russia of a large-scale cyberattack on its air traffic control system and a disinformation campaign during recent elections, citing credible evidence of interference aimed at destabilizing society.
- In response to these hostile actions, including the “Storm 1516” operation and Fancy Bear hacking group attacks, Germany summoned the Russian ambassador and enacted countermeasures against Moscow’s hybrid offensive.
