EU vows response to suspected Russian hybrid threats across Europe

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to react, amid growing concerns over Russian hybrid operations.

Her remarks follow investigations into explosive devices discovered at Germany's Leipzig airport. German authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow: a Russian national carrying a Latvian passport and a Belarusian citizen possessing Russian documents. Italian security officials noted that although the Belarusian national secured an Italian Schengen visa, preliminary checks indicate he did not travel through Italy.

Simultaneously, Danish intelligence services warned that Moscow is preparing sabotage operations against Denmark's domestic industries. Meanwhile, the military conflict continues to escalate, with Moscow launching a fresh campaign against Ukraine's energy network following repeated Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian petroleum facilities.
