US Congressional Report: Bulgaria is exposed to serious hybrid threats
A new official report from the Congressional Research Service of the US Congress indicates that Bulgaria is among the countries that are particularly vulnerable to Russian hybrid attacks. According to the document, our country is at risk across several different fronts, which brings the issue of national security to the forefront.
Hybrid threats include a wide spectrum of actions that are not direct military conflict but aim to destabilize the state. Experts note that these attacks often manifest through the spread of disinformation, cyberattacks against important institutions, and attempts to influence public opinion.
The report emphasizes that Bulgaria is a target due to its strategic location in the Southeast Europe region and its membership in the European Union and NATO. Analysts point out that efforts to address these challenges require better coordination between state institutions and higher media literacy among citizens.
In conclusion, the information from the American experts serves as a warning regarding the need to strengthen measures to protect the information space. The topic is expected to be the subject of in-depth discussions in the Bulgarian parliament with the aim of guaranteeing stability and democratic processes in the country.
