German police arrested 3 men charged with agent activities. Ukrainians prepared arson and explosive attacks on freight transport in Germany. As a standard, the media presented the thesis that Russian peculiar services were behind it.
Ukrainians planned terrorist attacks in Germany. The national Prosecutor's Office arrested 3 alleged "war refugees" on charges of sabotage and espionage. It is said that they agreed to carry out attacks on freight transport in Germany through 1 or more intermediaries.
The first detention took place on Friday 09.05 in Cologne and the second on Saturday 10.05 in Constance. The 3rd of the suspects was captured on Tuesday 13.05 in the Swiss canton of Turgowo. 2 men are in German custody, while being detained in Switzerland is to be transported to Germany.
Federal lawyer General accuses Ukrainians of allegedly acting on behalf of Russian peculiar Services. Men were to plan to send to various addressees packages containing explosives and incendiaries which were to be ignited during transport. According to the Prosecutor's Office, in order to analyse transport routes, 1 of the men had already sent 2 test shipments to Cologne in March this year, including GPS locators.
According to the Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia Herbert Reul (CDU), thanks to the retained packages, the police and the Constitution Protection Office could track the perpetrators. The case was subsequently dealt with by the national Prosecutor's Office in Karlsruhe.
In the face of arrests for alleged spy activities for Russia, the Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg Thomas Strobl (CDU) called for greater vigilance. – We are not at war, but we are no longer in real peace.” Strobl told SWR that he was very grateful to the safety services “for likely preventing a bomb attack – he said.
– They're frequently alleged low-level agents, otherwise, disposable agents. They are frequently young people, usually penniless, who are recruited for fast money and frequently do not really know that they truly work for enemy intelligence – he added.
The case of planned assassinations is taken very seriously. Although the investigation is at an early stage, in the past there have been akin cases of attempts to sabotage, e.g. in July 2024 in the Leipzig handling centre, the shipment caught fire, and the container standing on the ground was in flames. In this case too, it has been possible to reconstruct that this was a planned European air transport arson attack.
According to the national lawyer General, a man arrested in Constance has Ukrainian citizenship. So far, he's lived in an asylum home. No further information was provided for investigative reasons.
OUR COMMENTS: Only yesterday we informed about the Ukrainian who set fire to the Ikea store in Vilnius. In Poland the plague is arson of large-area shops by Ukrainians. In the case of Germany, we have another "coincidence" of this cycle. The attacks were planned again by Ukrainians and again, without a thorough investigation, it is claimed that only Russian services could have been responsible. Nobody undertakes to check whether Ukrainian intelligence can do so, after all, who is very keen to slander Russia and to join NATO states in the war which Ukraine is beginning to lose.
