Portugal summoned the Russian ambassador in protest against Russia's hybrid attacks in Germany, announced Minister Paulo Rangel before a European meeting. The decision by Lisbon is part of a broader context of tensions between the European Union and Russia.
Brussels classified the actions as "state-sponsored terrorism", highlighting the gravity attributed by the EU to these incidents. The European response is being coordinated among the member states.
German police are investigating a "deliberate" incident at an electrical substation, which may be related to Russian hybrid activities. This type of attack on critical infrastructure has been a growing concern among European countries.
