Putin's "artificial peace" trap for Europe While Europe spends billions of dollars to prepare for the possibility of direct war with Russia, according to the weekly "Economist", Moscow is now waging a secret war against European countries; A war without an official declaration and with tools beyond conventional weapons. Sabotaging railroads, disrupting airports using drones, cyber attacks, arson, and spreading false information are some of the actions attributed to Kremlin agents. Since 2022, more than 180 Russia-related incidents have been recorded in Europe. The Economist's fear is that Europe will focus all its attention on the possibility of Russian tanks crossing NATO's borders and ignore the current threats; threats aimed at creating insecurity, weakening public morale and reducing European support for Ukraine. In addition to increasing the military budget, European countries must strengthen the security of critical infrastructures, deal with cyber attacks and coordination between the police, governments and the private sector. An economist emphasizes that Europe's response to these pressures should not be a withdrawal of support for Ukraine. The approval of a new aid package to Kiev may show that Russia's campaign of sabotage and intimidation has not weakened Europe's will. Details of the report on the channel's global economy website.
