EU's Kallas Says Russia Planning More 'Sabotage Acts' Against Europe
The EU's foreign policy chief has urged member states to increase vigilance and take preventive action against what she described as planned Russian sabotage operations.

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has said Russia is planning further "sabotage acts" against Europe, urging member states to show greater vigilance and take preventive measures, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
Kallas's comments add to a series of warnings from European officials in recent months about alleged Russian hybrid activities targeting European infrastructure and institutions, amid continued tensions stemming from Russia's war in Ukraine.
The report did not specify further details on the nature of the sabotage acts Kallas said were being planned, or which countries or targets might be at risk. Kallas has repeatedly called for a tougher collective European response to what she has characterized as Russian efforts to destabilize the bloc.
Russia has consistently denied accusations of sabotage or hybrid warfare against European states, and Moscow had not issued a public response to Kallas's latest remarks at the time of reporting.
The warning comes as EU member states continue to debate the scale and pace of further sanctions against Russia, as well as additional support for Ukraine.
