Just some examples: - Denying it made any attacks while threatening with more serious attacks - Constantly escalating, while making the other side fearful of any escalatory steps 1/ 10.9K views · 251 likes · 47 reposts · 3 replies 02 Sep 2026 I wonder if Russia is surprised by German attribution and response, referring to “well-established pattern of Russian hybrid operations in Europe".

Europe must respond — here’s how. PART II. — 🧵 III.
