Gerhard Schindler says Russia has been ‘ramping up’ operations in west, as two men are accused of plotting sabotage at military sites

He said espionage and sabotage were an integral part of the “standard toolbox of Russian geopolitics”. The secret service activities in Germany exposed by this week’s arrests, he said, were “from that point of view no surprise. Rather, it’s the tip of the iceberg.”He said espionage and sabotage were an integral part of the “standard toolbox of Russian geopolitics”.

    I really hope this will be taken more seriously from now on. There is a certain political party I’d like to have thoroughly checked for Russian influence.

      There’s been imo much news lately about this stuff. Sometimes it feels as if it keeps "hanging " for a long time, and then there is an investigation , and suddenly, arrests.

      If this news has been only " the tip of the iceberg " (in Germany and probably all of Europe), like what this expert is saying, then how big is the iceberg?
