London: Watch our Senior Fellow, Maksym Beznosiuk, interviewed on SkyNews about the recent drone incursions across Europe
In this interview with Sky News, Maksym Beznosiuk discusses how hybrid warfare, especially the expanding use of drones, has become central to Russia’s strategy to pressure Europe. He argues that Russia is using a mix of sabotage, disinformation, cyber attacks, and drone incursions to test defenses, undermine trust, and destabilize political systems. Maksym Beznosiuk warns that Europe is underprepared for this evolving threat and calls for greater cooperation, technological investment (especially in counter-drone systems), and political will across EU and NATO nations to respond to these asymmetric attacks.

Putin is escalating Russia’s hybrid war against Europe. Is Europe ready? – September 23, 2025
Russia and Belarus conducted large-scale military exercises in mid-September as the Kremlin sought to put on a show of strength close to NATO’s eastern flank. The Zapad-2025 exercises were part of broader Russian efforts to test NATO’s political and military reactions while sowing fear and uncertainty among the European population.

Moscow Prepares a Winter of Energy Terror Against Ukraine – September 20, 2025
Unable to break through the front lines, Russia is weaponizing winter once again. Its campaign is set to combine mass drone swarms with strikes on thermal plants, gas facilities, and distribution networks, aiming to degrade Ukraine’s energy resilience and strain public morale.
There have been nearly 3,000 attacks on energy infrastructure since March, a dramatic escalation compared to previous years. Russia has already produced 34,000 strike drones and decoys this year, almost nine times more than in 2024. We could expect an increasing number of drone swarms designed to exhaust air defenses and overwhelm repair crews this winter. As a result, intensified Russian drone attacks, combined with energy equipment scarcity, could lead to power outages of 12-20 hours daily, and even longer in cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa.
Russia’s goal is to exhaust Ukraine’s energy resilience, destabilize society, and undermine European solidarity. That means Ukraine and its partners must accelerate layered air defense and counter-drone systems, secure and expand spare part reserves for energy equipment, and protect vulnerable communities and critical services against long-term outages.
The outcome will depend less on the occurrence of blackouts than on Ukraine’s ability to sustain public morale, protect vulnerable communities, and demonstrate that energy coercion cannot yield political concessions. Ukraine needs quicker strengthening of its energy infrastructure ahead of the cold season, as this upcoming winter will be a test of Ukraine’s resilience and European solidarity.
