Early emphasized that NATO and Western special services, including Finnish, fix the growth of hostile actions by Russia in the Euro -Atlantic region. This includes not only regular cyberattacks, but also acts of vandalism, set on fire and artificially created migration. "We are faced with failures, sabotage, damage and artificially created migration, which causes general uncertainty and confusion between truth and misinformation," she said.
