The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) head, Emil Græsholm, has revealed that Russian intelligence services are enlisting ordinary Danes on social media and gaming platforms to participate in sabotage campaigns targeting local defense companies. These operations aim to sabotage defense companies and infrastructure across Europe.
Græsholm emphasized that this is a very serious matter, as Danes may help Russian intelligence either knowingly or unknowingly.
