""Russia is preparing for a long confrontation with the West. As a consequence, a military conflict between Russia and the West is no longer unthinkable.""
""In the 80 years of our existence, we have not seen a threat level like the current one, where national security has been put under pressure from so many sides at once, for such a long time.""
""We see an unstable and unpredictable world order, after decades where stability and predictability were the foundation of prosperity and peace.""
The Dutch intelligence agency AIVD warns that the Netherlands is experiencing unprecedented national security threats, mainly from Russia and China. AIVD highlights increased Russian cyberattacks and suggests a potential military conflict with the West is plausible. Russia refutes claims of aggression towards NATO, citing threats from the West, particularly regarding support for Ukraine. Additionally, proposed budget cuts to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency could exacerbate vulnerabilities. AIVD director Simone Smit emphasizes the current threat level is unprecedented in the agency's history, marking a shift from decades of stability.
