US EditionIntelligence officials worry a sabotage campaign blamed on Russia is growing more dangerous
EUROPE, JUL 09 – European officials report over 70 incidents linked to Russia since 2022, including arson, sabotage, and cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure and military sites.
- On Tuesday, three men from South London were convicted of arson for their involvement in a March 2024 fire at a warehouse in east London that stored equipment destined for Ukraine.
- Prosecutors said Russia's intelligence services masterminded the plot as part of a broader campaign of sabotage targeting Europe since Moscow's 2022 Ukraine invasion.
- The fire, which destroyed about half the warehouse's contents, involved recruited saboteurs who ignited gasoline, and a Russian recruiter later criticized the premature attack.
- The recruiter told 21-year-old Earl, a convicted organizer, he was “our dagger in Europe” and advised him to watch 'The Americans' as a manual for sabotage.
- Officials warn the sabotage campaign is growing more violent and risky, with untrained operatives causing potential harm amid shifting tactics from Russian military intelligence.
