Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a recent wave of hybrid attacks across Europe represents an attempt by Russia to intimidate the European population.
Zelensky's comments come amid a series of reported incidents across several European countries that officials have described as suspicious or linked to foreign interference, though not all have been formally attributed.
The Ukrainian leader has repeatedly warned that Russia is using tactics beyond the battlefield in Ukraine, including disruptive activities aimed at European infrastructure and institutions, as part of a broader strategy to pressure European governments.
Russia has previously denied involvement in similar incidents raised by European officials.
Zelensky's remarks add to ongoing international discussion about the scope and intent of hybrid threats facing European countries amid the continuing war in Ukraine.
