Day 1,662.

Today, the EU announces a ‘counter-hybrid playbook’ and its own
version of NATO’s Article 4 after the worrying increase of hybrid
incidents and attacks on Europe. The US indicts four Russian
intelligence agents preparing acts of terrorism and
assassinations across Europe and the US. Meanwhile, American
lawmakers are set to vote on Lindsey Graham’s Russian sanctions
bill and President Zelensky claims that Moscow intentionally
attacked Moldova. Later, Alex Nichol meets the activist risking
everything to smuggle military deserters out of Russia.
