Russian invasion The world's response
NATO top: Must be ready for major hybrid attack

There is a risk that Russia will carry out major hybrid attacks against the West and NATO must then know how the alliance will respond. This is what NATO top leader James Appathurai said in an interview with Sky News.

Appathurai, who works on hybrid and cyber issues, says that the number of suspected Russian hybrid attacks has reached levels that would have been unacceptable five years ago. Although Russia has denied the accusations, the West has pointed to the country as responsible for several sabotage, cyber attacks and assassinations.

James Appathurai warns that future hybrid attacks risk becoming larger and more deadly.

– Then we don't want to be in a situation where we haven't thought through what we're doing next, he says.

Analysis: The choice is between Musk and German democracy

Elon Musk's decision to enter the German election campaign by supporting the far-right AfD party is causing concern and surprise among German commentators. Der Spiegel's Marina Kormbaki writes in an analysis that it was clear that the election campaign would be shorter and rougher than usual and that hybrid attacks were to be expected:

"But no one would have expected that an American tech billionaire with poor impulse control would shape the election campaign - and perhaps even influence the outcome," she writes, noting that the real duel may not be between Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz, but rather Elon Musk versus German democracy.

Musk's high-profile debate article in Welt am Sonntag - which prompted the opinion editor to resign - is not a sign of freedom of expression but rather anti-constitutional agitation, says Teresa Stiens in Handelsblatt.

She writes that the AFD pursues “anti-constitutional goals through racism, agitation, exclusion and fantasies of ‘remigration’”.

“It goes against the very core of our democracy”, she writes.

North Korea: To introduce the toughest strategy against the US

North Korea is to introduce the toughest strategy ever to counter the US. This was reported by state-controlled media on Sunday after a large party meeting that dictator Kim Jong-Un organized this week, writes AFP.

The party met for a five-day meeting to develop a new plan for 2025. In it, they launch a harsh attack on both the US, Japan and South Korea and accuse the countries of threatening North Korea.

Kim Jong-Un talked about “the toughest anti-American countermeasure to be launched aggressively”.
