Three senior officials emphasized the country’s determination to adapt, highlighting sophisticated tactics such as establishing fake corporations, leveraging intermediaries, and deploying cyber actors to infiltrate critical systems. The situation underscores a growing strategic urgency as Moscow seeks to maintain competitive parity with Western allies in high-value sectors.
