NATO members have expressed concern over recent malicious actions by Russia on the territory of Alliance countries and pledged to respond "individually and collectively."

According to a statement from NATO published on the Alliance's website, accusations have been made in recent weeks against several individuals in connection with hostile state activity spanning the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and the United Kingdom.

"These incidents are part of an intensifying campaign of activities which Russia continues to carry out across the Euro-Atlantic area, including on Alliance territory and through proxies. This includes sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference, disinformation campaigns, and other hybrid operations," the statement said.

NATO members have expressed "deep concern" over Russia's hybrid actions, which pose a threat to the security of the Alliance.

"We support and stand in solidarity with the affected Allies. We will act individually and collectively to address these actions, and will continue to coordinate closely," the statement emphasized.

Alliance members also pledged to continue strengthening resilience to Russian hybrid threats and called on Russia to "fulfill its international obligations, just as NATO members fulfill theirs."

"Russia's actions will not deter Allies from continuing to support Ukraine," NATO added
