Kallas Warns Russia Is Increasing Sabotage in Europe as EU Urges More Pressure Over Ukraine

Summary
Kaja Kallas said Russia is stepping up sabotage across Europe to intimidate governments into reducing support for Ukraine, warning that yielding would only invite more aggression.
At the U.N. General Assembly in New York, the EU foreign policy chief argued deterrence depends on stronger European defense investment and coordinated Western pressure on Moscow.
Kallas said Russia has not shown it is serious about peace talks, urging a ceasefire and an end to attacks on civilians in Kyiv before negotiations can be credible.
Her warning diverges in part from Estonia's foreign minister, who said intelligence services see no sign Russia is preparing a full-scale attack on NATO despite rising hybrid incidents.
The dispute reflects a broader European debate over whether Russian drone incursions and suspected sabotage are precursors to invasion or a campaign to weaken backing for Ukraine.
