The Russian shadow looms over threats against airplanes and television channels in Europe

European governments are increasingly concerned about a series of threats against commercial flights and media outlets, believed to be linked to hybrid warfare tactics. At least 18 media organizations, including the Financial Times, received alarming emails warning of imminent attacks. Although officials have not directly blamed Russia, the nature of these threats suggests a deliberate attempt to destabilize Europe amid a sensitive geopolitical climate. The Italian Foreign Minister highlighted Russia's intent to create panic, while Irish authorities vowed to identify those responsible. Recent false alarms regarding flights in several countries have raised fears of a coordinated intimidation campaign, potentially involving spontaneous collaborators.
