Russia's intelligence service is suspected of being behind a series of attacks on cars in Europe. Most recently, German owners who can do nothing have been targeted.
Russia is suspected of being behind a series of incidents targeting privately owned cars across Europe. Car owners are powerless in the face of these actions, apparently carried out by Russia's intelligence agency, the FSB.
Russia has reportedly intensified its efforts to destabilize European countries through various forms of sabotage.
Unfortunately, acts of sabotage, of which the filled ejection pipes are only a small part of what is believed to be part of a larger plan by Russia, appear to continue. The aim is to create discord and insecurity in the affected communities.
This is written by the Berliner Morgenpost .
"They are trying to divide the country and fuel existing conflicts," a self-proclaimed environmentalist told the newspaper.
Recently, the Russian sabotage was sold to motorists in Germany. Here, 43 cars were vandalized, their exhaust pipes filled with construction foam.
Subsequently, a sticker was placed with the text "Be Green" and a picture of the German Environment Minister Robert Hobeck.
Initially, the action was attributed to radical climate activists, but the investigation took a different turn. In December, three young people, a Serb, a Bosnian and a German, were arrested near Berlin in a van carrying construction foam .
– For months there have been targeted attempts to use espionage and sabotage to create insecurity, fuel existing conflicts and divide us as a society, says the Green Party's interior spokesman Konstantin von Notz to the newspaper.
It later emerged that they were behind the vandalism of the 43 cars. During interrogations, it emerged that they had been instructed by a Serb with Russian roots.
This person had allegedly given them detailed instructions on how to carry out the sabotage.
The motive behind these actions is believed to be to create discord and distrust in German society, which in turn will make more Germans view the Russian state positively.
At the same time, it is believed to be an attempt to discredit the environmental movement and the German Environment Minister.
The incident in Germany is not an isolated case. Russia is suspected of being behind similar actions in other European countries.
The aim is to destabilize these countries and create chaos. The affected car owners are left with no way to prevent or defend themselves against these attacks.
They depend on the police and intelligence services to solve the cases and hold those responsible accountable.
Russia continues to challenge European security through various forms of hybrid warfare, including hacking and sabotage.
