The ‘Russian House’ in Nicosia under scrutiny over suspected hybrid threats

Lithuanian MEP Rasa Juknevičienė has raised concerns about the Russian Cultural Centre in Nicosia, citing it as a potential hub for hybrid threats. Her warnings follow a European Parliament resolution, approved by 470 members on September 16, which identifies Russia as a primary source of destabilizing activities across the European Union. These hybrid operations, ranging from cyberattacks to disinformation campaigns, aim to undermine European security without triggering conventional military conflict.
