Sondland urges NATO/EU to presume Putin behind Western cyberattacks and sabotage

Former U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland proposes a 'Godfather Test' for NATO and the EU, advocating that they presume Russian President Vladimir Putin is responsible for cyberattacks and sabotage against the West. This is an opinion piece, not a confirmed policy shift, but it reflects growing Western pressure to attribute hybrid attacks to Russia more decisively. The proposal signals a potential hardening of NATO/EU posture, though its immediate impact is limited as it is a commentary, not an official action.
