Up to 100 ‘suspicious incidents’ in Europe can be attributed to Russia, Czech minister says

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Up to 100 “suspicious incidents” in Europe this year can be attributed to Russia, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky told reporters on Wednesday as he arrived at a meeting with NATO counterparts in Brussels.

“This year there were 500 suspicious incidents in Europe. Up to 100 of them can be attributed to Russian hybrid attacks, espionage, influence operations. We need to send a strong signal to Moscow that this won’t be tolerated,” Lipavsky said.
