The Security Information Service in its 2025 annual report warned that the Czech Republic faced one of the most serious security periods since the end of the Cold War. Among the main threats, it listed Russian sabotage activities, Moscow's attempts to circumvent sanctions, and Chinese activities in cyberspace and the academic environment. denik.cz ↗
According to counterintelligence in the Czech Republic, the risk of using so-called one-time agents for sabotage attacks directed from Russia continues to persist. The threat particularly concerns entities involved in military support for Ukraine. The BIS states that the number of such hired persons in Europe in the second half of last year continued to grow. According to the service, Russia simultaneously attempted to acquire goods subject to sanctions or other European Union measures through the Czech Republic, including through re-exports via third countries. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
The report also describes activities associated with China. Czech entities became targets of several cyber attacks by actors connected to China last year. According to the BIS, Beijing used selected Czech academics to obtain sensitive information and to better understand the domestic environment. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
The BIS also warned about the influence of disinformation and conspiracy channels, due to which part of Czech society is isolating itself into an alternative version of reality. According to the report, developments show that security risks for the Czech Republic remain long-term and will require monitoring of Russian and Chinese activities in both traditional and digital environments. irozhlas.cz ↗
