The European Commission accuses Russia of hybrid warfare, in which secret rules are openly broken. The Commission President emphasized that Russia's actions aim to divide Europe and cut support for Ukraine.



'Do not make a mistake. Recent incursions into our airspace are part of a growing threat. It is time to call things by their names. This is hybrid warfare. Europe must be able to respond and protect our airspace'


The Head of the European Commission also stressed the importance of European solidarity and the need to increase defense spending in light of the threat from Russia. As part of the 'Readiness 2030' strategy, the establishment of a 'Drone Wall' is planned to effectively combat them.
