Arte: Is Russia's hybrid war entering a new phase?

Russian acts of sabotage in Europe more than tripled between 2023 and 2024. The swarm of drones that flew brazenly into European airspace last week proved that – along with frequent acts of arson, damage to infrastructure and hacking of healthcare systems all show that Russia is getting more confident. Europe – and NATO – must decide how to respond without launching a full-on conflict, and where the line is in this murky game of hybrid warfare.

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and available in 10 languages through the European media partnership EMOVE Hub.
