US state department says it is 'incredibly' concerned about Russia 's campaign of hybrid warfare.

It comes amid fears it will escalate following Ukraine 's first use of long-range missiles.

Russia has promised an “appropriate” response to the new policy, and has engaged in nuclear sabre-rattling by changing its nuclear doctrine in recent days .

Western officials believe the thrust of the Russian response may come not on the battlefield in Ukraine but elsewhere in the world.

Former senior European defence official described the EU as totally unprepared’ to confront Moscow ’s hybrid warfare.

He said Europe lacked the necessary resources to counter Russian sabotage attacks.

Russia could increase support to Iran and its proxy allies in the region, including the Houthis in Yemen or Hezbollah in Lebanon .
