Special services of Germany have established observations of natives of Russian Federation who support the war in Ukraine
This was stated by the chairman of BFV (Federal Office for Constitution protection) Thomas Haldenwang, writes Deutsche Welle. According to him, Russian propaganda leads to an increase in extremism in Germany in the light of war in Ukraine, but assured that in general the Russian diaspora in Germany is resistant to Russian propaganda. "Through social networks, posts of extremist content that justify the war that contradicts international law.
We face pro -Russian protests that are involved in this diaspora. How much, we do not have statistics. We watch those people who support Russian propaganda. But they respond to her, "Kaldenang stressed. According to Haldenwang, the Russian Federation against Ukraine increased the threat of Russian espionage against Germany. The BFV leader believes that in the future Russia will start acting more aggressive and may change the methods of its work.
"This can be attributed to the activities of special services with false passports, as well as increased hackers up to sabotage. If you compare Russian and Chinese espionage, Russia's special services are more powerful and more noticeable, they work classically, in fact by all means known in the spy. Special services resort to killings or theft of people. It is a very rough style, we do not see it in the Chinese, "says Thomas Haldenang.
The head of BFV also commented on the recent statement of the Czech President Peter Paul about the need to strengthen control over the Russians living in Europe. Haldenang recalled that many people from the former USSR have come to Germany in the past decades and are mostly integrated into German society and have German passports. Recall that in Europe they cannot agree to create a security system. Germany wants to buy weapons of US and Israeli. France is that Europe develops its defense industry.
