Germany is preparing plans to reinforce its defense against so-called "hybrid attacks" from Russia. This information comes in a context of growing European concern with threats that combine military and non-military means.
The German Interior Minister publicly stated that, although these hybrid attacks are considered to be increasing in the future, the country has capabilities to adequately defend itself against such threats.
Hybrid attacks typically refer to strategies that combine disinformation, cyberattacks, economic pressure, and other non-conventional tactics, aimed at destabilizing target countries without resorting to direct military conflict.
This defense preparation comes at a time when relations between Germany and Russia remain tense, and German authorities are seeking to strengthen national resilience against different forms of external pressure.
