President Zelenskyy warns of intensifying hybrid warfare in Europe and Bulgaria
Published
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a serious warning regarding Russia's actions in Europe. According to the head of state, Moscow is actively expanding its hybrid warfare, directing its efforts not only at Ukraine but also at a number of European countries, including Bulgaria.
Hybrid warfare involves various methods of destabilization that are not direct military actions. These are often expressed through cyberattacks, the spread of disinformation, attempts to influence political processes, and economic pressure. The goal of these actions is to weaken citizens' trust in democratic institutions and create division within society.
Security experts note that Bulgaria is vulnerable to such threats due to its geographical location and historical ties. The intensification of hybrid attacks requires the state to improve the protection of information systems and foster higher media literacy among the population in order to recognize fake news.
The international community is monitoring the situation closely, as the security of individual European countries is closely linked. The issue of countering these threats is expected to be discussed at upcoming meetings of European Union and NATO leaders.
In conclusion, President Zelenskyy's warning serves as a reminder that modern conflicts are not fought only on the battlefield. Protection against hybrid threats remains a top priority for Bulgaria and its partners in their efforts to maintain stability and democratic values in the region.
