Two alleged Russian spies have been arrested in Germany. They are accused of searching for possible targets for attacks in the country.

Those arrested collected information to attack supply lines for the Ukrainian army and other potential targets such as US Armed Forces facilities with explosives. The objective was to prevent the entry into Ukraine of weapons and other materials from Germany, which is the second country - behind the United States - that provides the most military aid to Kyiv. The arrests took place on Wednesday in the Bavarian city of Bayreuth, southern Germany. The homes and workplaces of both men were searched as part of this operation. The men allegedly belonged to a pro-Russian organization that claimed control of the administrative district of Donetsk in the spring of 2014. The DPR and Ukrainian forces engaged in fierce fighting, and the organization also repeatedly used violence against civilians, according to the Prosecutor's Office. The accused exchanged information with this person about possible sabotage actions in Germany with the aim, in particular, of undermining this country's military support for Ukraine. The German Foreign Ministry has summoned the Russian ambassador. The Russian Embassy in Berlin rejected all accusations. "No evidence has been presented to attest to the plans of the detainees and their possible links with Russian structures," he said in a statement. The German Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, has reacted by making it clear that Germany will continue to support Ukraine no matter how much Vladimir Putin's Government tries to prevent it. "We must respond to this threat with vigor and determination," wrote the German Minister of Justice, Marco Buschmann, on the social network X. The accusations are "another very serious and highly alarming incident," said Konstantin von Notz, president of the parliamentary committee overseeing the German intelligence services. This is "another very serious and highly alarming incident.'
