For Russia, hybrid war is an ideology and industry, investigative journalist Hristo Grozev told MEPs from the special committee for the protection of European democracy. Grozev joined the meeting online, at which Russian hybrid threats against Europe were discussed, BTA has reported.

This is a war. Europe must recognize this and counteract it with the necessary unity, Grozev said. We found a Russian document explaining that creating confusion is perceived as a "victory", and instilling fear is key. This is done by submitting false bomb alerts, by creating deep fakes, etc., Grozev said.

Russia is actively manipulating European politics, bribing politicians, interfering in the elections in Moldova and Romania, Grozev said. He also pointed out the case against Bulgarian citizens in the UK, accused of espionage in favor of Russia.
