About this Event
Russia has sharply increased sabotage operations in Europe, targeting infrastructure since 2023 the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Most of the saboteurs accused of working on behalf of Russia are foreign. They include young people with no criminal records who are frequently hired for a few thousand dollars. Russia has been forced to rely increasingly on such amateurs since hundreds of Moscow’s spies were expelled from Western countries following an operation to poison former Russian intelligence officer Sergey Skripal in the U.K. in 2018.
Russia’s aim - through its campaign of vandalism, espionage, covert action and now sabotage - has been to destabilise European governments, undermine public support for Ukraine by imposing social and economic costs on Europe, and weaken the collective ability of NATO and the European Union to respond to Russian aggression.
