"They are very difficult to prove". How Russia's hybrid attack campaign in Europe works

CNN Portugal2 September 2026 at 09:06

Tension between Germany and Russia has been increasing after the discovery of explosives at Leipzig airport. This incident comes amid an escalation of diplomatic tensions between the two countries, raising concerns about the security of European infrastructure.

International law expert Francisco Pereira Coutinho is analysing the situation and the escalation of tensions between Germany and Russia. His analysis comes at a critical time for bilateral relations between the two countries.

Germany announced a response against Russia's hybrid actions on the European continent. These hybrid actions refer to strategies that combine military and non-military means to destabilize target countries, including disinformation operations, sabotage, and other activities that fall short of open armed conflict.

According to the article's title, these hybrid attack campaigns are very difficult to prove, which represents a significant challenge for European authorities attempting to hold Russia accountable for its actions on the continent.
