I think I am going to start posing this question on a regular basis, until I get a satisfactory answer: If Putin’s attacks on Europe do not come with a cost, why would he stop?

Russia is escalating hybrid attacks and Europe has no answer
From cyber attacks to armed drones and mysterious cases of arson, tensions are rising across the continent as the war in Ukraine is set to enter its fifth winter.

Russia reportedly built a new drone launch site near Millerovo in roughly a month for Geran-5 ops. The area was an empty field on September 1, but now had 8 prepared launcher positions and 32 UAV preparation sites. Recent satellite imagery reportedly showed drones being unloaded at the facility.

I heard explosions before the air alert warning came through. If these were Iskander-M ballistic missiles, there have to be renewed questions about the reasons for an alert not being given at least a few minutes ahead of time, as has been usual before.

Just now, AGAIN the sound of explosions in Kyiv AHEAD of air alert sirens and the warning of a ballistic missile attack. Much of the country now on red alert. Telegram monitors say Russia fired a salvo of 4 missiles. UNCONFIRMED: Monitors claim these were Iskander-M missiles.

The lack of response from the West to these and other actions by fascist Russia will be perceived as weakness by Putin, and encourage him to escalate his aggression. Incidents like these will become more frequent and more serious the longer there is no serious response from the civilized world.
