Defense industry in sights: Intelligence service: Russia is planning sabotage in Denmark
Russia is planning sabotage in Denmark, according to the Danish domestic intelligence service, and is even trying to recruit clueless citizens for this purpose. In its sights: the arms industry and Ukraine aid.
Danish authorities have uncovered plans and preparations by Russia for sabotage in Denmark, targeting companies in the defense industry that are connected to military aid in Ukraine. The goal is to stop concrete deliveries for Ukrainian defense and to instill fear in Denmark, discouraging support for Ukraine and the development of its own defense capabilities.
According to Emil Græsholm, head of counterintelligence at Denmark's domestic intelligence and security service PET, the targets and preparations are concrete, and the threat must be taken seriously. Russian plans may include arson, and companies in the defense industry are advised to increase their security measures. Russia is also trying to recruit ordinary Danes, often without their knowledge, to gather information for sabotage plans.
