The Portuguese prime minister, Luís Montenegro, expressed "total solidarity" to Germany after a hybrid attack attributed to Russia against the country. The statement was made in response to recent events involving threats and sabotage on German territory.
Montenegro affirmed that the determination of Portugal and its allies will not waver in the defense of Ukraine. The prime minister guaranteed that Portugal is united with Germany and other European allies in pursuit of the values of peace, security and freedom.
The hybrid attack against Germany reportedly involved sabotage and destabilization operations, with German authorities attributing responsibility to Russia. This incident heightened already existing tensions between Russia and Western countries.
The Portuguese position fits within a broader context of European support for Ukraine and condemnation of Russian actions against NATO and European Union member countries.
