When are our intelligence services start to let Russia taste a bit of their own medicine?

Because they won't stop until there will be consequences beyond sharp words and condemnations

When are our intelligence services start

Maybe they have. And maybe they are also better at not being caught.

I don't have much faith in our German one. Maybe the other ones are more competent.

That is kind of happening. Mainly by giving Ukraine info on points of interest and missiles to go to those point of interest.

This means that we are at war with Russia.

Still, we should try to avoid escalating the situation.

This means that we are at war with Russia.

Needed some time how to phrase my reaction. Russia is at a a hybrid war in Europe in most if not all member states , and at a fullscale war in Ukraine.

The term hybrid warfare is normally a term used to describe a conflict without any direct kinetic confrontation. "Gray zone" and "Non linear Combat" are other like terms.
