- Russia is conducting a hybrid war against Europe using drones, airspace violations, and infrastructure attacks.
- Russia's strategy relies on Europe's reluctance to engage in full-scale war and political divisions within NATO and the EU.
- Europe's military unpreparedness for drone warfare and slow adoption of new military technologies are being exploited by Russia.
- Russia may aim to force Europe into a deal: cease support for Ukraine and lift sanctions in exchange for stopping aggression.
- Europe must respond with clear deterrence, matching Russian provocations with larger-scale retaliations to prevent further escalation.
- Russian actions include false-flag operations, drone attacks, and potential troop incursions into NATO territory.
- Russia's militarized society and potential for large-scale mobilization pose a significant threat despite being tied up in Ukraine.
- European leaders need to rapidly adapt military technologies and prepare societies for potential large-scale mobilization.
- A strong, unified response from Europe is necessary to change Russia's risk-reward calculations and avoid surrender or full-scale war.
