Toby Gillis 和 Stuart Willey:我们关注波罗的海海底基础设施遭到破坏的事件,怀疑是俄罗斯在背后操纵,这被一些人称为影子战争。英国国防大臣指责俄罗斯船只在英国海底基础设施附近徘徊,瑞典政府也扣押了一艘涉嫌破坏海底电缆的马耳他籍船只,尽管难以证明其故意破坏。 George Grylls:北约对波罗的海海底电缆遭到破坏的事件做出了回应,启动了名为“波罗的海哨兵”的行动。北约怀疑俄罗斯利用油轮伪装,故意破坏海底电缆,这些电缆对于现代世界的互联网通信和能源运输至关重要。行动旨在阻止这种行为,由多国海军和空军参与,在波罗的海东北部巡逻。波罗的海地区多次发生海底电缆被破坏事件,促使北约采取行动。俄罗斯利用影子舰队进行海底活动,存在间谍活动、破坏电缆和环境污染的风险。波罗的海恶劣的环境条件给调查工作带来了挑战。由于船只所有权结构复杂且难以追责,北约难以对俄罗斯采取直接行动,只能通过收集证据来揭露其行为,采取的策略是收集证据,向俄罗斯施压,而不是采取军事报复。波罗的海周边国家对俄罗斯的行为越来越不耐烦。尽管波罗的海成为“北约湖”,但北约仍不愿采取全面封锁等激进措施。英国正在加强海底监测能力,以应对潜在威胁。
