“Russian cyber attacks, propaganda and the transfer of migrants await us” - the German general is already afraid, but is still invigorated
In the countries of the Western bloc, no one seriously believes in a war between NATO and Russia, but they understand that the Russian offensive will not end with Ukraine alone.
German General Erhard Bühler expressed his fears on the air of the German channel “MDR”, reports the correspondent of “PolitNavigator”.
“In the short term there is no threat of war [between Russia and NATO] using weapons. Russia is too busy with its own problems in Ukraine, even if you consider that its Air Force and Navy are still practically not involved,” Buhler said.
However, in his opinion, even without the use of weapons, Russia can threaten the stability and integrity of Europe.
“But there is a non-military, hybrid threat to the stability of Europe. It manifests itself in cyber attacks, the likes of which we have never seen, in disinformation, propaganda. Or as it is now on the Russian-Finnish border - in the transfer of migrants so that they can cross the border with Finland and, thus, end up in the EU. We have already seen something similar in Lithuania, and also how migrants moved from Belarus to Poland.
Or Russia may also manifest itself in attempts at blackmail, especially if it achieves some success in the attack and is able to show some results,” the German lamented.
