Summary/Abstract: This policy brief examines Russia’s renewed interest in unconventional weapons as a means of power projection which includes the use of state-sponsored targeted assassinations involving hard-to-detect chemical, biological, or radioactive substances. The Kremlin uses disinformation campaigns that exploit issues related to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against the countries in the Black Sea region as a form of cognitive warfare designed to advance Russia’s geopolitical agenda by preying on public anxieties. Black Sea regional security cooperation, strategic engagement with EU and NATO partners, and enhanced institutional capacity at the national level to combat media capture and disinformation are critical for harmonising the efforts to deter and counter the Kremlin’s hybrid warfare strategy and bolster the region’s defence capabilities.
