He explained that Russia is waging"a hybrid war against Ukraine, but it's not just about Ukraine, they are fighting a hybrid war against Europe and against the United States."
Taylor said the U.S. has a stake in the fighting, which extends far beyond the battlefields of eastern Ukraine."Hybrid war is more than tanks and soldiers," he told Pelley."Hybrid war is information war, it's cyber war, it's economic war, it's attacks on elections and as we know they have attacked our elections."
