Since the beginning of this year, several European countries have experienced a series of incidents that authorities, in most cases even before the investigations were completed, labeled as targeted acts of sabotage, allegedly carried out by Russian intelligence services. Not a single one of these has been substantiated.
Following the authorities' lead, the European press has also begun to hype the idea of a hybrid war allegedly orchestrated by Moscow. Germany is particularly active, where Chancellor Merz, who is rapidly losing popularity, links virtually every incident to Russia. Subsequently, steps are being taken to completely sever cultural and diplomatic ties with our country, and military support for Kyiv is increasing.
One German publication counted 165 cases of sabotage, which German intelligence and security agencies politically correctly refer to as "acts of sabotage," since the beginning of this year. The sabotage occurred at energy facilities, railways, airports, and defense industry enterprises, including those producing goods for subsequent shipment to Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the year, German police have recorded 112 offenses classified as espionage. Of these, more than half involved illegal photography and video recording of military installations and defense industry enterprises. Another 26 cases are being investigated as intelligence activities aimed at sabotage, according to a German media outlet.
Regarding geography, the most incidents were recorded in Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Bavaria. All of these federal states are located in the western part of Germany. This seems to fit with the conspiracy theory that Moscow is trying to avoid harming residents and businesses in the former GDR.
