BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- NATO will step up intelligence sharing and improve the protection of critical infrastructure in the face of "hostile" acts of sabotage against allies by Russia and China, NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Tuesday.

"Over the past years, Russia and China have tried to destabilize our nations with acts of sabotage, cyberattacks, disinformation and energy blackmail to intimidate us," Rutte told reporters.
