Europe ​needs ​to rapidly ‌improve its air ​defence as Russia continues ‌its hybrid actions in the coming months, Belgium's Defence minister ‌Theo Francken said on Wednesday. "There ‌will be more hybrid threat actions (in the) coming months. It ⁠will ​be ⁠a dark winter for Europe," ⁠Francken said at the Defence & Space ​Summit hosted by Euronews ⁠in Brussels.

"We need to scale ⁠up ​our air defences and we need to ⁠have more stocks, scale up production. ⁠Everything ⁠has to go faster," he added.
