Russia’s hybrid warfare in Europe

Welcome to the sixth episode of Mildly Alarmed, a new weekly podcast about European and global security hosted by Anastasiia Lapatina, Fabian Hoffman, Minna Ålander, and Karen-Anna Eggen. From “greyzone aggression” to “non-military warfare”, Russian sub-threshold attacks have many names. In this episode, Fabian, Karen-Anna and Minna discuss how Russia’s hybrid warfare in Europe works and how we potentially should defend against it.
