'Russian intelligence agencies have found a new sense of purpose in a war with the West,' says Russian investigator
'Russian intelligence agencies have found a new sense of purpose in a war with the West,' says Russian investigatorJust before midnight on 20 March, CCTV footage showed a car with four men inside pulling up at an industrial estate in Leyton, east London. A fire broke out at a warehouse on the estate shortly after, with dozens of firefighters dispatched to tackle the blaze.
A fire broke out at the Diehl BGT Defense metallurgical plant in Berlin, spreading over an area of 2,000 square meters.Russian agencies have “regrouped” after the expulsion of more than 600 diplomats as suspected spies after the invasion of Ukraine, says Andrei Soldatov, Russian investigative journalist and founder“Back then, everybody thought it would significantly affect Russian operations in Europe.
Identifying recruits is often a “coordinated effort where hackers go into specific databases on the darknet where you can get all sorts of information on people through various data breaches due to cyber attacks,” Dr Miron added.Some operations, such as planting cameras on weapons supply routes to Ukraine, appear to have a military purpose. Others may be psychological warfare, Dr Miron suggests.
The shadowy nature of sabotage has fostered a sense of “helplessness” among European authorities, says Dr Miron, with a lack of clarity over how to handle foreign recruits with little evidence tying them to Russia, including on whether suspected offences are a police or military matter. Former Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg has suggested such attacks could be cause to invoke the alliance’s Article 5 mutual defence treaty, but this has been dismissed by other leaders. “We are not going to fire missiles at Russia because of a rather small-scale incident,” said Latvia’s President Edgars Rinkēvičs last month.
