- German prosecutors on Thursday said police in the Bavarian city of Bayreuth had arrested two men on suspicion of spying for Russia.
The two are accused, among other things, of acting as agents for sabotage purposes and of preparing explosives, the German Federal Prosecutor's Office announced in Karlsruhe.
Germany also summoned Russia's ambassador in Berlin after the arrests were announced.
"We will not allow Putin to bring his terror to Germany," Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock wrote on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

And this would force the US congress not just to release the actual bill regarding Ukraine aid, but increase it indefinitely, because they would be an actual party to the war now.
@@flixri726do you think the Russians are worried about the US aid to Ukraine? Why should they worry about the inevitable? As long as nato won’t and can’t step foot in Ukraine the Russians don’t care about the amount of aid the Ukrainians receive. Didn’t you hear what Peskov said today about the possibility of Congress agreeing to send the aid to Ukraine? By the way what has patriot gotten to do with zircon and Kinshall? Or do you think we believe in the Ukrainians PR of having intercepted them? 😂 if you even do critical thinking about their latest claim you wouldn’t even say this! If they had less than a minute to get siren notice of an incoming missiles how would they intercept it? According to them the time the missiles reached there coincided with their siren warning yet because of PR marketing they claim to have intercepted it even though the target was flattened!

Indeed Germany has vastly underestimated this. Would it surprise anyone if it is an intricate and persistent network rivaling Austria's.
Germany's Russian and Chinese networks are way bigger than the networks in Austria.
Every russian and Chinese national who works in a Western corporation and university is a spy.
nope, and probably much much bigger, given the 4M residents of DE (mostly citizens i believe) who are proficient in Russian language & thus society, familiarity etc.

They do it in the netherlands and belium too. But they are hiding as right wing politicians

I think german intelligence is underestimated.
I agree. Whatever else the Internet memes might say, they seem to be extremely compentent in that respect.
why You said that German Intelligence underestimated? all of You say that becuase You 2 are Pro Russians right? and You 2 underestimated German Intelligence., Russians sending Their Spies into Germany but still., German Intelligence already know about Russian Spies inside in Germany
why You said that German Intel underestimted?
You 2 said that maybe because You 2 are Pro Russians? LOL
German Intel already know that Russian Spies are already inside in Germany., dont underestimated Them
Authoritarian regimes are mutually exclusive with democracies. Keep that in mind and see how true it is.
Not so much in the western, how many western nations have a political person in power for twenty years . Their is a strong system to rid a country of one person who is on the level of Putin, xi , Kim, ayatollah, people who enslave the every day thoughts and ideas of a free man
There are no true democracies, but your cards are better here in the West than in Russia. That is for certain.

Maybe you begin with G. Schroeder, if there is a talk about Pootyphiles??
He was just an opportunist, wasn't he?
@manfredconnor You may call him an opportunist, an influencer or anything.
But he has been promoting Rus interests with amazing energy, and, which is important, gets considerable money for that. Some people use the word "trait0r" for a situation like this.
Schroeder was the first to completely sell out his country to the Russians, but he was not the last.
@@user-vx5vo3gs2w I seriously never like the guy. He brought us the Leiharbeit too. However, I honestly, do not know much about what he has done, since he went out of office. I know that he got a lot of money from them, but back in these days, the attitude was to open up toward Russia and to have them open up and "become western". We wanted to normalize trade with them and bring them into the fold. Make an old foe to a friend. It is just that they never changed their attitudes about human rights, freedom, democracy, etc. They never opened up and in the end the tried to rip off German and western companies.
@manfredconnor Seriously speaking, all current consequences of Schroeder/Merkel's "Ost-politik" were absolutely predictable. Putin himself sent a clear message at the Munich conference in 2007, and many times used natural gas as a weapon even before that. I do not believe heads of state could be naive to such an extent. That is simply impossible. So, there's something else.
Considering all the Russian Germans, the old Stasi personal and all the SPD "peace"-supporters I would assume significant.
Can anyone on this chat think or do the math? The Berlin wall fell in 1998 - 26 years ago...if these two so-called spies were Stasi they would have been approximately 14 years old at the time!!!!

I think it would be quite unwise to underestimate the potential of such information. A lot of this regards elements of large human, military and manufacturing infrastructure. Such things cannot be easily or rapidly changed to invalidate the utility value of that already gathered and transferred intelligence. With this information, "the next guy" might not need to scout, they could potentially jump straight to the sabotage. Providing far less opportunity for German or other ally/partner intelligence to discover them before they are able to act. That would be a fairly bad case scenario outcome, but it's far from unrealistic.
Russian analyst about Russian spies... Nice. the plot could have been stopped there.
You are a bit paranoid there. I think Germany and Russia might have genuine ties, like gas. Moreover, even Katarina and Maria (Putin's real daughters) were born in Dresden.
Article 5.
Technically any espionage is by a criminal regime. It’s not Russia only that’s the only criminal espionage. We have luminaries in the west who happen to be at the top in this game. Are they also criminal? No.
This is called double standards. Western hypocrisy German UK French ... so typical
half of germany was under russian control for 60 years, even with the reunification that network is so deep rooted it never went away.
They sound more like mercenaries than spys. In fact catching these mercenaries could have been supported by Russia so they can spread fear. The media supports arms sales, security, maybe an EU army. Its concerning that greedy people could be trying to make it happen but also its concerning not to have an EU army in world like this.

The Poland connection in the assassination plot is interesting.
First, it's not just greed, you will also find in Poland some who are so opposed to what they see as a decadent west that they see Putin as a potential savior. The fact that they are much fewer in number makes them more dangerous. First because this fuels their radicalization. Second, because they are more likely to be able to penetrate Ukrainian defenses without raising suspicion.
