Russia maintains network for #hybrid #warfare in #Europe


#Russia has created a network of agents to conduct its #HybridWar against Europe. The network brings together government agencies and organized #crime and #Russian-speaking men with #criminal records are being recruited to carry out acts of #sabotage, according to a study.

"The study situates #Moscow's #tactics against the backdrop of its full-scale war on #Ukraine, showing that hybrid operations are not a side theatre but a central pillar of #Russian #strategy," the researchers explain in their introduction.

They compared these tactics to the approach of the so-called "Islamic State" (ISIS) #terror group that recruited "former criminals who went on to carry out violent attacks in the Levant and Europe." The researcher explained that "today, a new #crime-terror nexus has emerged in Europe — this time orchestrated by a state actor – Russia."

🧵1/ The Netherlands is the place to be if you want to study the #government's misuse of #AI in a democratic country.

A week or so ago there was some reporting on the Top 400, a #predictive #crime initiative by the City of #Amsterdam. They algorithmically create a list of the 400 youngsters they believe are most likely to commit serious crimes. The #police actively surveills them (including house visits!), even if they haven't committed any crimes at all.
