Estonian foreign minister: Europe should stop calling Russian attacks "hybrid"

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna says he is convinced European leaders should stop describing Russian attacks as "hybrid."

Estonia's Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has stated his belief that European political leaders should stop using the term "hybrid" when referring to attacks carried out by Russia.

According to the minister, this kind of terminology is no longer appropriate, and he is calling on European leadership to reconsider how they speak about Russia's actions.

Tsahkna made the statement publicly, though further details about specific incidents or cases he may be referring to have not yet been disclosed. Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet provided additional comment on the broader context of the remark.

The statement reflects an ongoing discussion at the political level in the Baltic states about how European countries should publicly characterize Russia's actions.
