Analysts warn that Russia is expected to persist with its "hybrid warfare" tactics against NATO countries, avoiding outright military confrontation while maintaining pressure through covert and indirect means. The approach combines cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and political interference to undermine Western alliances without triggering a direct response. Experts suggest these methods remain a key tool in Moscow’s strategy, even as tensions with the West remain high. The focus on subtler, long-term influence operations highlights the challenges NATO faces in countering such threats.
But they say Moscow will likely continue its "hybrid activity" against Nato members, short of direct military action.
