Denmark Warns Russia Could Strike NATO Within Months as Poland Probes Starlink Sabotage

Summary
Danish intelligence said Russia poses a “low but growing risk” of limited military action against a NATO country in coming months, including long-range strikes on infrastructure supporting Ukraine or a small cross-border incursion.
The report said Moscow is likely to intensify hybrid attacks with “greater consequences,” from destructive cyberattacks to sabotage, because Russian commanders believe some NATO states are already directly involved in the war.
Poland reported an overnight fire at a Starlink satellite station in Masovia was deliberately set to disable the site, briefly disrupting internet access for institutions including the Ukrainian military, though officials have not identified the culprit.
The warning follows a string of suspected Russian operations across Europe, including Germany’s accusation this month that Moscow was behind an attempted drone attack on Leipzig/Halle airport; Russia denies involvement.
Danish analysts said the broader aim would be to divert European resources from Ukraine and test NATO’s Article 5, especially if Moscow doubts the US or all allies would respond collectively.
