The British newspaper The Telegraph has identified suspected organizer Oleg Levushkin of a sabotage attack at Leipzig Airport, according to sources. German media had previously reported on the suspect, but The Telegraph is the first to name him. Levushkin, a Russian national, is linked to a GRU unit accused in the Skripal poisoning.
The GRU unit, known as military unit 29155, has former members Anatoly Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin accused of the Skripal poisoning, using aliases Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov respectively. The unit, part of the Special Activities Service since 2023, is suspected of organizing the Leipzig Airport sabotage attack. Levushkin and Denis Smolyaninov, a GRU colonel and head of a department specializing in sabotage operations abroad, have known each other for many years, meeting in 2007 when Smolyaninov mediated a financial dispute involving Levushkin's business.
