NATO sees no "imminent" threat of attack from Russia despite increase in hybrid acts

SAPO Notícias30 August 2026 at 18:09

NATO does not consider that there is an "imminent" threat of attack from Russia, despite the increase in hybrid acts recorded recently. The position of the Atlantic Alliance contrasts with warnings made by some member countries.

The Polish prime minister defended on Saturday, August 29, that the Atlantic Alliance must be prepared for a potential provocation from Moscow. The leader considered that the next six months will be "decisive" in terms of European security.

The article does not specify which hybrid acts are being referred to nor does it detail what type of provocation Poland fears from Russia. No concrete measures that NATO is considering taking are mentioned either.
