Sabotage suspected after Baltic Sea telecoms cable suddenly stops working
Monday, 18 November 2024 An undersea fibre optic cable between Germany and Finland has stopped working and might have been deliberately cut by an unknown party, according to authorities.
NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region.

Tensions flared over the Baltic Sea as two Swedish fighter jets under NATO command intercepted and escorted a Russian IL-20 “Coot” reconnaissance aircraft flying dangerously close to Polish airspace. The dramatic aerial standoff, confirmed by Sweden’s armed forces, comes just days after British RAF jets similarly intercepted Russian planes. With NATO forces on high alert and repeated Russian incursions near member states, the alliance warns it is fully prepared to retaliate if provoked further.

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization? And how is Moscow responding?
