BREAKING | 🇩🇪🇷🇺‼️‼️ Germany is preparing for potentially serious new hybrid attacks from Russia. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Berlin expects further hostile activity and warned that Germany would respond “quickly and very clearly” if such attacks occur.
Merz described Moscow’s escalation as a sign of desperation amid the war in Ukraine. At the same time, Vladimir Putin warned that escalating confrontation with the West could reach a “fatal point of no return,” while again denying that Russia plans to attack European countries. Moscow has also rejected Western accusations that it is conducting hybrid attacks across Europe.
The statements show how sharply the confrontation has intensified beyond the battlefield in Ukraine. Berlin is preparing for more pressure below the threshold of conventional war, while Moscow is simultaneously warning that continued escalation could eventually become irreversible.
