The recent reports of a planned attack on the CEO of German arms company Rheinmetall have sparked outrage and calls for consequences. According to CNN, the US intelligence agencies informed German authorities about the attack plans, which were fortunately foiled.
Western intelligence agencies have been monitoring suspicious travels of suspected agents from former Soviet Union countries, including Russia. While some have been near the Rheinmetall headquarters in Düsseldorf, others were observed at destinations visited by the CEO.
The Kremlin denied the allegations, dismissing them as fake news. This incident has prompted calls for strengthening German intelligence services to rely less on information from the US and other allies.
The German government believes that they are well-prepared to handle threats from Russia. However, political leaders are demanding action, including potential expulsion of diplomats and international arrest warrants.
Germany remains committed to supporting Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression and will not be intimidated by Moscow. In response to the planned deployment of US long-range missiles in Germany, the Kremlin has warned that European capitals could become targets of Russian missiles, labeling it as a provocation.
This escalation underscores the heightened security concerns and the need for a collective and resolute response from European and international partners.
