Putin ordered an increase in sabotage operations in NATO countries According to The Wall Street Journal, the failed drone attack on Leipzig Airport was part of a broader operation to move agents, weapons and explosives into Europe. German investigators believe the operation was directed by former Russian officer Oleg Levushkin, who coordinated a group of Belarusian agents. Semtex explosives with detonators were transported in sealed tin cans, while Serbia served as a logistics hub. Two days before the incident, Levushkin and at least one accomplice left Germany and travelled to Russia via Serbia. WSJ sources claim that after the incident, Moscow warned Berlin through unofficial channels that Leipzig would not be the last target. According to the publication, the escalation of sabotage operations coincided with the Kremlin’s frustration over its lack of progress in the war against Ukraine and Kyiv’s refusal to make concessions.
