Denmark Warns of Russian Sabotage Threat to European Defense Firms

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Russia is targeting Danish defense companies linked to Ukraine, with warnings of sabotage and hybrid operations as EU and NATO vow stronger measures against Russia.

Denmark's counter-intelligence agency says Russian intelligence is recruiting citizens to attack European defense firms, with specific focus on companies supporting Ukraine. The threat comes amid concerns over Moscow's actions, including a drone attack at Leipzig Airport in August.

EU and NATO leaders have condemned the attacks, with EU chief Von der Leyen calling the Leipzig incident a 'military-grade material' attack on European soil. They are working to tighten sanctions and consider measures like visa bans on Russian ex-combatants.

EU foreign ministers have summoned Russian ambassadors in protest, with plans to use frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine. Belgium remains cautious about financial liability, while other countries push for the release of over €193bn in frozen assets.
