By being able to respond, they will be able to help out authorities on the ground<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Military and civilian authorities can usually, in crisis time, do only what they have been trained for,&#8221; said Haavisto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finland has specialized in dealing with the issue and has set up a European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats, which since its inception two years ago now has 22 EU and NATO members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haavisto said under-the-radar actions to seek out vulnerabilities have become more prevalent, hence the need to war game potential threats. He pointed to Russia&#8217;s alleged jamming of GPS signals during military exercises in the Nordics last year as one such example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We want the union and member states to strengthen capacities to prevent and respond to hybrid threats,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hybrid threats can be based on a wide variety of strategies, ranging from the spread of fake news to undermining trust and cyberattacks on energy or communication systems. Russia has often been blamed for using such tactics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hybrid threats can be based on a wide variety of strategies, ranging from the spread of fake
