As part of the SIPRI event with the French Embassy on maritime hybrid threats in the Baltic Sea, SIPRI interviewed Dr Nicolas Mazzucchi, Head of Naval Strategy and Wargaming at the French Navy Centre for Strategic Studies (CESM). In the interview, Nicolas reflects on the growing security risks beneath the Baltic Sea, highlighting the vulnerability of critical underwater infrastructure and the strategic implications of seabed warfare. He discusses the need for stronger civilian–military cooperation, enhanced intelligence-sharing and technological innovation, and explains why collaboration between NATO and the EU offers grounds for cautious optimism in securing Europe’s “green waters.” About Spotlight: The Spotlight series is a collection of short, on the spot interviews, captured on occasions where individuals have visited SIPRI for various events, seminars and workshops. The aim of the series is to capture an array of angles and viewpoints that will stimulate further discussions. While these are designed to offer snapshots, the intention is to provide starting points to contribute to continued dialogue to better understand the conditions for peaceful solutions of international conflicts and for a stable peace. https://www.sipri.org/​ Follow: https://twitter.com/SIPRIorg​ Like: https://www.facebook.com/sipri.org​ Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sipri
