I think the GPS jamming is fairly clearly a Russian operation. Not sure if this is a good source, but just eyeballing where the disruptions are, they centre around Kaliningrad region: https://rntfnd.org/2024/05/10/hobbyists-zero-in-on-kaliningr...

Another one is hybrid warfare via artificial migration on Russia's Western borders. Poland, the Baltic states, and to a lesser extent also Finland, experience waves of aggressive migrants forcing these borders, often with clear help, or coercion, from Russian or Belarusian security forces. To be clear, I feel heavily for people escaping poverty and war, my point is they are being weaponised here.

Protecting the borders saps resources from the militaries of these countries.

Whether other specific attacks are Russian or not is hard to know, but it seems beyond doubt that Russia is engaging in low level hostility against the West.
