Building Resilience in the Context of Russian Hybrid Threats
Building Resilience in the Context of Russian Hybrid Threats

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines hybrid threats posed by the Russian Federation and the resilience measures, democratic states can adopt in response. Russian Federation employs tactics like sabotage, espionage, cyberattacks, disinforma­ tion and election interference to destabilize democracies. In response, liberal democracies strengthen resilience by enhancing cybersecurity, combating disinformation, engaging civil society and fostering international cooperation. The analysis highlights how Russian hybrid actions, including attacks on critical infrastructure and disinformation campaigns, threaten European and NATO security. Effective countermeasures involve coordinated resilience efforts, NATO-EU cooperation, tighter regulations and public awareness.
