Vladimir Putin’s hybrid war is pushing Europe towards a deadly new “Pearl Harbour moment”, a former Lithuanian foreign minister has warned.
Gabrielius Landsbergis, who stepped down as the Baltic country’s most senior diplomat in November, said Nato was “doing nothing” in the face of brinkmanship by Russia, allowing Putin to drag the West closer to all-out conflict.
His warning follows a series of Russian provocations, including MiG-31 fighter jets breaching Estonian airspace and a drone barrage over Poland. As fighting continues in Ukraine, swarms of drones have caused mayhem at airports and spied on infrastructure as part of the Kremlin’s “shadow war”.
