American and German officials discussed Russian sabotage actions, including information that led to the arrest in May three Ukrainians accused of conspiracy related to Russia.
The Russian sabotage campaign has led to fires in UK warehouses, an attack on a dam in Norway, attempts to cut cables under the Baltic Sea and a number of other operations.
Experts and Western scouts note that after the peak in 2024, the number of Russian sabotage has decreased significantly this year. At least partially, this is the result of increasing security in Europe and the efforts of US and European intelligence to prevent attacks.
According to persons, US intelligence agencies provided information on potential sabotage to the European governments. In particular, German intelligence officers were a warning about an attempt to send explosive or ignition devices by cargo aircraft flying over Germany.
This warning has led to the arrest of three Ukrainian citizens in Germany and Switzerland. The Federal Prosecutor’s Office in Berlin said that this plan was probably part of a conspiracy to damage the logistics infrastructure for commercial freight.
The devices were addressed to the places in Ukraine, but the companions said it was clear whether they were targets or the devices had to explode on cargo aircraft in Germany.
According to Western officials, although Russia’s reconnaissance operations are under increasing control, they have retained the ability to recruit people to attack all over Europe.
Therefore, US and European military officials are increasingly concerned about drone flights in Germany.
These flights, which are concentrated in the Eastern German land of Turing, also reported the German edition of Wirtschaftswoche, which widely covered the sabotage campaign.
US officials confirmed these flights, but said they could not track their origin. They believe that drones piloted Russians or people who work for Russian intelligence services.
Prehistory:
