Two German-Russian nationals have been arrested in Germany for allegedly planning sabotage attacks, including targeting U.S. military facilities, officials said.
Two German-Russian nationals have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting sabotage attacks, including on U.S. military facilities, in an effort to undermine military support for Ukraine, officials said on Thursday. Authorities have searched the homes and workplaces of the two suspects accused of working for a foreign secret service. One of them, identified as Dieter S., had since October 2023 discussed possible plots with a person linked to the Russian secret service, prosecutors said.
Our security authorities have prevented possible explosive attacks that were intended to target and undermine our military assistance to Ukraine,' Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said. 'It is a particularly serious case of alleged spy activity for Putin's criminal regime.' Dieter S. had been prepared to carry out bomb and arson attacks on military facilities, including those operated by U.S.
The prosecutors suspect Dieter S., whose last name has not been disclosed due to German privacy laws, was a fighter for Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine from Dec. 2014 to Sept. 2016 in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. He is in possession of a firearm, prosecutors said. In a separate case, prosecutors last month charged an officer in Germany's military procurement agency with attempting to pass secret information to Russian intelligence.
