What happened
The European Commission proposed a joint playbook to respond to hostile actions falling short of armed aggression in Europe. This proposal follows an escalation in Russia’s hybrid campaign, which has seen a rise in Moscow-linked arson and sabotage incidents. These incidents include the discovery of explosives-laden drones near Leipzig/Halle Airport and an attack on a Warsaw-bound train.
