Against the background of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, Moscow continues to actively interfere with the EU processes with hybrid methods, including espionage, cyberattacks, disinformation spread and direct sabotage. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin continues to actively influence the EU processes through hybrid methods that make Western countries be more serious about Russian threats.

The interlocutors told reporters that they are estimated that the Russian leader does not plan to reduce pressure on European countries and tries to increase their influence. Not only the Baltic countries, but also Germany and a number of leading EU countries are at risk.

Western intelligence points out that the Russian side is actively implementing "hybrid methods", including cyber -attacks, espionage, misinformation and sabotage. Russian intelligence services are also active among political circles in different countries of Europe. The media writes that such actions have already begun Germany.
