UKRAINIAN SPY ARRESTED: Germany Raises Sabotage Alert Amid Suspected Russian Espionage

Germany has arrested Ukrainian national Vadym Y. on suspicion of spying for Russia, with federal prosecutors alleging that he gathered sensitive military intelligence on armoured vehicle, ammunition and explosives production, military personnel and defence installations. Authorities say the suspect had been in contact with Russian intelligence through an intermediary since at least July 2025. The arrest comes as Germany raises its military sabotage threat level to "significant" following the discovery of a crashed drone carrying high explosives near Wunstorf airbase. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned that Russian intelligence activity in Germany remains at a consistently high level and that further cases may emerge. Berlin has increasingly raised concerns over suspected espionage, reconnaissance and sabotage targeting strategic infrastructure, while Moscow denies involvement in attacks against European nations. The investigation highlights growing security concerns for Germany, NATO and European defence infrastructure amid Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. #germany #russia #ukraine #nato #russianspy #espionage #germanynews #friedrichmerz #russianintelligence #militarysecurity #sabotage #hybridwarfare #europeansecurity #natoalliance #russiaukrainewar #defence #geopolitics #breakingnews #timesnowworld #worldnews Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
