NATO Under Attack

Foreign Correspondent returns for 2026 with an episode from Denmark as NATO countries face their biggest security crisis since World War II.

For months the ABC's Europe correspondent Bridget Rollason has been tracking events in Denmark as it navigates security concerns over a "hybrid war" with Russia while at the same time dealing with the shocking threats made by one of its key allies – the United States.

For much of 2025 NATO member states experienced a wave of "hybrid" attacks creating havoc and fear, which have been pinned on Russia. NATO nations warned this was no Cold War, and that citizens should brace for conflict with Russia. Then, Donald Trump shook the alliance to its core with his renewed and aggressive demand for the Danish territory of Greenland, tearing up the rule book that has kept the alliance together. In this report Bridget has embedded with NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea where Russian submarines are active, visited army training camps in Denmark at a time when all women must register for possible combat when they turn 18 and spoken to high level interviewees in the defence and intelligence world to capture this profoundly consequential moment in history.
