A report on the risks to the EU, taken into account for the year 2026, conducted by the European University Institute (EUI), targets the risk of a hybrid war, with sabotage in the European bloc, the possibility of ending the war in Ukraine in favor of Russia, new attacks from Moscow, and the withdrawal of US support in terms of security, reports Agerpres.
The report mentions five “high risk” threats to the European bloc next year. The most likely risk for the EU in 2026 is a hybrid war in Europe, with disruptive attacks against European critical infrastructure, underwater sabotage, or disruptions in the supply of electricity, among other actions.
“Experts clearly anticipate that some hostile states and their allies will continue to probe Europe’s cables, pipelines, and networks, and doubt that the current resilience measures of the EU will be sufficient,” the report states.
Secondly, the authors of the document see a risk in a possible ceasefire in Ukraine on terms favorable to Russia, such as the cession of territories to it, which in their opinion would show that “the EU cannot shape its own security environment nor discourage future threats from Russia”.
