🇷🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺⚡️ — According to a report in The Telegraph, Russia has launched a new "hybrid" campaign against European arms factories.

According to Western intelligence sources, the Kremlin is recruiting local criminal groups to carry out sabotage operations in facilities that supply weapons or components to Ukraine.

Here are some examples:
August 15: Arson at the Milrem Robotics drone factory in Estonia (Latvia has arrested three of its own citizens as suspects).
August 10: Explosion at the Bulgarian EMCO ammunition factory (which manufactures 155mm artillery shells for Ukraine).
August 13: Explosion at the KNDS Ammo Italy ammunition factory near Rome.
Similar incidents have occurred previously in the Czech Republic (drone factory) and Lithuania.

The GRU is no longer sending its own agents, but is instead hiring through online intermediaries, who often do not even know that they are working for Russia.
