Jan Balliauw after bomb threats on European flights: "Russia sows chaos among us, but we can also do that in return"

Jan Balliauw argues that Europe must adopt a tougher stance against Russia, which he describes as waging a "shadow war" through coordinated bomb threats on flights. Despite no explosives being found, these incidents have caused significant disruption and psychological impact. Experts suggest a pattern of destabilization linked to Russian hybrid threats, although definitive proof of Moscow's involvement is lacking. Balliauw emphasizes the need for Europe to respond with cyberattacks and counter-disinformation efforts, warning that failure to act could lead to further escalation from Russia. He highlights the ongoing dangers in the Black Sea and the potential political implications for Europe, particularly regarding upcoming elections in France.
