The Dutch vital maritime infrastructure in the North Sea, such as internet cables, gas pipelines and wind farms, can be vulnerable to attack, according to Dutch military reports.
They state that Russia is covertly mapping this infrastructure and undertaking activities that indicate espionage and preparatory acts for disruption and sabotage.
Such a physical threat to other vital sectors, such as energy supply, is also conceivable, as long as such attacks can be carried out covertly, according to the report 24/2 The Russian attack on Ukraine: a turning point in history, published by Dutch defence.
