Russia stepping up assassination plots against Europe's defence chiefs, intelligence warns
Original: Western intelligence agencies have warned Europe’s defence bosses that Russia is stepping up efforts to assassinate them
Western intelligence agencies have warned Europe's defence industry leaders that Russia is intensifying efforts to assassinate them. According to the warnings, arms companies have responded by increasing personal security around their top executives. The alert reflects growing concern about Russian sabotage and hybrid operations targeting European defence production amid ongoing support for Ukraine.
Why now: Renewed Russian hybrid threats against European defence industry coincide with heightened tensions over the war in Ukraine.
