A week of Russian attacks. Europe. And a list that keeps growing. 🇷🇴 Romania reports thwarting a surveillance operation linked to Russia targeting strategic military facilities. 🇲🇩 Two Russian drones enter Moldovan airspace—one of them flying as far as Romania. 🇲🇩 Russian drones strike a checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Moldovan border. Two people are killed. 🇵🇱 Poland responds to a direct threat against a checkpoint on the Polish-Ukrainian border. 🇱🇹 A suspected drone flies from the direction of Belarus over Lithuania towards Kaliningrad, remaining in NATO airspace for about 20 minutes. 🇵🇱 A Russian drone strikes a passenger train on the Kyiv–Warsaw line near the Polish border. High-ranking European politicians and security experts—including Boris Johnson, Carl Bildt, Sanna Marin, and Aleksander Kwaśniewski—had traveled along that route shortly before. 🇵🇱 Poland discovers an object on the Baltic coast resembling a Russian "Gerbera" military drone. 🇩🇰 A Russian frigate fires two flares near a Danish military helicopter. 🇱🇹 NATO aircraft shoot down a drone over Lithuania. 🇳🇱 A large-scale act of sabotage paralyzes parts of the Dutch railway network. 🇩🇪 Drone debris is found just a few kilometers from the Wunstorf Air Base (Bundeswehr). The origin and the party responsible are initially unknown. 🇩🇪 Following the thwarted drone attack in Leipzig, Germany anticipates remaining a target of Russian hybrid attacks. The National Security Council decides on additional measures to counter espionage and sabotage and to protect critical infrastructure. 🇩🇪 The German government holds Russia responsible for the attempted attack in Leipzig, viewing it as part of a broader pattern of destabilization, disinformation, threats, and sabotage against Europe. 🇺🇦🇵🇱 The Russian drone attack near the Polish border struck a region where a train carrying European politicians and security experts had been traveling shortly before. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius described the attack as a deliberate escalation. 🇵🇱🇷🇺 At the same time, threatening political rhetoric is intensifying: Nikolai Patrushev, a close associate of Putin, publicly threatened Poland with destruction within "2–3 days." 🇩🇪 Germany is now explicitly treating the situation as a matter of national security: the National Security Council speaks of a persistent threat posed by Russian hybrid attacks. Drones. Espionage. Sabotage. Cyberattacks. Intimidation. Disinformation. Attacks on infrastructure. Border violations. Europe has long been under attack and facing pressure just below the threshold of open warfare.
