Summary
Europol reports that Russia and other state actors are using criminal networks to conduct sabotage, cyber-attacks, and migrant smuggling to destabilize the EU.
The agency’s 2025 threat assessment describes a “shadow alliance” where criminals act as proxies for state-backed hybrid threats. Recent attacks, including arson in Lithuania and Poland, have been linked to Russian intelligence.
Officials warn of ongoing security risks, including AI-driven cybercrime.
Europol says these tactics aim to weaken institutions through persistent disruptions rather than large-scale attacks.

We’re all but at war with Russia and yet almost everyone is so apathetic and defeatist. Ask yourself why.
