Tom Karako described a campaign of sabotage, explosions and arson across Europe as Russia testing NATO’s resolve. On September 23, Poland’s Donald Tusk warned Russia might portray strikes on countries supporting Ukraine as accidents, while France’s Emmanuel Macron said drones, cyberattacks, airspace incursions and sabotage had intensified and ordered protection for critical and defence-industry sites; the alleged campaign remains under assessment.
