Russia news: The US -based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) claimed in its report that a large part of the world is currently involved in war. According to the report, Russia has waged a “shadow war” against the US and Europe, including activities such as cyber attacks, sabotage and espionage. Its purpose is to weaken Ukraine’s aid from Western countries.
After this claim of CSIS, experts have questioned whether it is considered to be the beginning of the Third World War, where there is a direct war on one side and the shadow war is going on on the other side.
Attacks have increased in Europe
According to the report, there has been a significant increase in events such as explosions, government email hacking and below sea bite at military bases in Europe in recent times. Especially since the Ukraine War began in 2022, the number of such attacks in Europe has increased three times. Experts believe that these steps of Russia are part of the strategy of intimidating Ukraine’s associate countries. If the position of Russia in Ukraine is stronger then the situation can become more serious.
Danger warning for NATO colleagues
According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Russia’s shadow war remains a serious threat to NATO colleagues and global security. Russia is particularly targeting important infrastructure such as energy grids and transport networks, which can also affect systems associated with North America. The report said that cyber -attacker groups like Koji beer have targeted American agencies, which may also affect Canada’s institutions. Since Canada is providing military assistance to Ukraine, he may also face potential cyber attacks. These attacks can affect Canada’s electoral process and infrastructure.
Russia can interfere in countries like Canada by adopting a hybrid war strategy. At the same time, the pressure on the Trans-Alantic alliance is increasing due to the cuts in US military aid, giving effective response to Russia’s aggressive steps and has become difficult. Apart from this, the report also expressed concern about the policies of former US President Donald Trump. The desire of good relations with Trump’s Russian President Vladimir Putin can weaken Ukraine’s western support, which can give Russia a chance to become more aggressive.
