Russia is likely to escalate hybrid warfare attacks against Denmark and other NATO allies, including the use of missiles and sabotage against critical infrastructure. The Danish Defence Intelligence Service assesses that while a full-scale military invasion remains unlikely, such an event can no longer be ruled out. These operations aim to weaken the alliance's unity and diminish support for Ukraine through tactics such as false-flag drone strikes or deploying unmarked forces into bordering NATO territories.

Denmark's threat level for destructive cyberattacks has moved from medium to high, the second-highest of five possible ratings. The intelligence report states that any Russian military intervention would require at least six months of preparation and force buildup. Current assessments find no signs of an imminent invasion, as Russia would likely only proceed if it believed the attack would not result in war with a unified NATO.
