Denmark says Russia has conducted sabotage attacks against its defense firms
PET says Russia is using untrained proxies recruited online and shifting from broad disruption to targeted sabotage against weapons suppliers.
- A Danish intelligence official reported that Russia has initiated sabotage operations against Danish companies supplying Ukraine after concluding previous broad disruption efforts failed to deter Western NATO support.
- Josefine Christensen, lead analyst at the Danish national security and intelligence service , noted that while planning occurred in spring, operations surged in early summer as Moscow began targeting drone component manufacturers.
- Russia increasingly recruits untrained proxies via Telegram for low-threshold tasks like photography, which escalate to sabotage. "It could be anyone just looking for quick money," Christensen said.
- Moscow has repeatedly denied involvement in sabotage, despite growing operational boldness. Earlier hybrid attacks include an attempted drone incident in August at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport blamed on Russia.
- Denmark's defence intelligence service expects Russia to intensify hybrid attacks against the West in coming months, aiming to hit targets with a "direct impact on the front line.
