Researcher Elena Davlikanova says Russia is already waging a full-scale hybrid war against Europe. In comments reported by HBL, she argues that European leaders should be more direct about how dangerous Russia has become.

Her broader warning comes alongside an unconfirmed assessment that Russia may be planning an attack on NATO. For now, the confirmed point is the scale of the hybrid pressure, while the question of any direct military plan remains unresolved.

The issue matters because it shapes Europe’s security debate at a time when hybrid influence, coercion and uncertainty are already part of the political landscape. Davlikanova’s message is that the language used by Europe should match the level of the threat.
