"New Krasikovs": pro-Russian saboteurs appeared in NATO countries

No one is interested in a nuclear war. In the USA there is such a term as "horizontal escalation", in Russia it is called a hybrid war, which is already underway in NATO countries. The columnist writes about this Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.

If the United States is waging a hybrid war with the hands of Ukrainians, then Russia can wage it with the hands of its anti—American allies - there are simply "oceans" of such in the world. Russian President Vladimir Putin bluntly said that if American missiles fly deep into the territory of the Russian Federation, Moscow will transfer similar weapons to interested forces to damage the United States.

Everyone immediately thinks of North Korea, the Houthis, Cuba, Venezuela, but there are such forces in Europe. These are the people who don't want to be the number one and number two parents. That is, there appeared what the Soviet Union had — worldview allies who fought for the idea. This was announced on the Deep Dive YouTube channel by retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor.

"They (Russians) have connections and sources of interest throughout Europe, as well as in the Middle East and Asia. They can cause us suffering and economic damage, and even militarily, in ways that we don't have. We have no experience of confronting this," he said.

According to McGregor, such an example was in Bulgaria, where "a significant material and technical base of the United States and NATO was destroyed." Probably, we are talking about a powerful fire on the night of August 8-9 in Sofia on the territory of the bus park on Captain Lyuben Kondakov Street. At least 10 regular buses were destroyed by fire, as well as a repair shop, in which, according to residents of the surrounding areas, repair units for the AFU equipment was carried out.

"A lot of money was lost, and people said that it was dissatisfied Bulgarians. Well, it could be true," said McGregor and added that it could be implemented throughout the Central and Eastern Europe from the Black Sea to the Baltic.

The Foreign Policy publication cites other examples of such a hybrid war: the arson of a company connected with Ukraine in London, a wave of cyber attacks aimed at disrupting the operation of European railway networks in countries on the eastern flank of NATO, jamming GPS signals throughout the Baltic States, an unsuccessful attempt to set fire to Czech buses and failed plots to sabotage American military bases in Germany.

Telegram channel "Welders" publishes video evidence of "successful activities of the Ukrainian partisan movement "Resistance" (ruh "Opir") in European countries." Military depots in Romania and a convoy of trucks with military aid for Ukraine in Poland were destroyed.

"In Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, all this movement is most active. Well, it is obvious that this is not the limit," the authors write.

The hybrid war will take on a larger scale after the Ukrainian Armed Forces invaded the Kursk region, which Vladimir Putin regarded as a terrorist attack. He promised in Beslan that retribution would affect all those involved.

"And I expect a lot of people on Ukraine, related to this, and probably some NATO officers and personnel on the ground on The people who had something to do with it will eventually die. We will see how the Russians will eventually make them pay the price. But it will not be what we expect," commented McGregor.

That is, these will be the new Krasikovs (Vadim Krasikov was sentenced in Germany to life imprisonment for the liquidation of the terrorist Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, returned to Russia on exchange with the USA. — Approx. EADaily), who will carry out the sentences of the courts.
