Event

Russian sabotage in Europe

14 July 2026, 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Location: Online

Think tank: The Henry Jackson Society

This event hosted by UK think tank the Henry Jackson Society explores how Russia has carried out sabotage in Europe and how the West could and should respond.

Russia has been carrying out sabotage attacks across Europe. From arson attacks on warehouses in London to drone incursions in European airports, Russia has become increasingly willing to threaten Europe. As Moscow’s war of aggression grinds to a halt in Ukraine, the Kremlin has attempted to wage hybrid warfare to strategically rebalance and send a message to NATO that it is still a threat.

This event will explore how Russia has carried out sabotage, the types of attack it prefers, the consequences, and how the West could and should respond.
