The commander of NATO forces in Europe, Grynkewich, urged European countries to openly name Russia as responsible for recent sabotage incidents. He stated this to members of the European Parliament on Monday, September 28. Grynkewich noted an increase in hybrid attacks attributed to Russia across Europe in recent months, including a drone attack in Leipzig, Germany, and a Russian strike on a train in Ukraine near the Polish border in early September.

These incidents include drone attacks and other hybrid warfare tactics. Grynkewich emphasized that openly assigning blame would increase the 'price' for Russia.
