War in Ukraine

Between 2023 and 2024, the number of sabotage attacks in Europe nearly tripled. The year before that, it quadrupled. Meanwhile, the image of a Russian spy in an expensive suit bears less and less resemblance to reality. Today, the recruiter might turn out to be a Telegram channel administrator, an attractive stranger on social media, or someone who shares your views on "secret conspiracies."

Russia threw more than 10,000 attack drones into the fight in a single day—and still lost another 1,270 troops, dozens of artillery systems, and hundreds of vehicles.
