Details: AP’s source said that Russia’s plans include recruitment of criminals from other countries to carry out the attacks. The official specified that one of such attacks was planned against Papperger.
AP states that European leaders discussed the fight against the escalation of hybrid attacks, which they blame on Russia and its allies, at the NATO summit in Washington this week.
These attacks include recent fires at industrial and commercial facilities in Lithuania, Poland, the UK, Germany and other countries, as well as the migration pressure initiated by Minsk and Moscow.
Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, also confirmed that the Alliance identified a large-scale coordinated hybrid campaign that Russia had started simultaneously against several NATO member states.
In April the German authorities arrested two citizens of Russian-German origin on suspicion of the preparation of sabotage attacks, including those against US military facilities, intending to undermine the military support for Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that Germany had facilitated the highest level of protection for Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall, after the Russian attempt to assassinate him was revealed.
