There is a real possibility that Russia could inflict "substantial" casualties by carrying out arson or sabotage operation against a NATO country, NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General James Appathurai told Sky News in an interview published on Dec.

Russia may not only sabotage cables in Europe. The Kremlin may resort to provocations on the borders of NATO countries, believes the head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak. According to him,

Europe and NATO rely on the US for SEAD capabilities, something that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shown is critical in a modern conflict.

Moscow's campaign of hybrid warfare against NATO countries is getting close to the point of causing "substantial" casualties, a senior official at the defense alliance warned.

Russia will scrap a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate and shorter range nuclear-capable missiles because the United States has deployed such weapons in various regions around the world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday.

Tensions along NATO's eastern flank are high because of the risks posed by Russian military actions near the borders of alliance member states.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that more than 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed and wounded in Russia's Kursk region and warned that Pyongyang could send more personnel and equipment for Moscow's army.

NATO's strategy is sound but its allies lack the arsenals and manufacturing needed to carry it out in a long war, a new report found.

Russia has assembled a fleet of hundreds of vessels to covertly ship its oil. With so many ships at sea, the idea of using some to cause havoc may be proving irresistible to the Kremlin.
