Russian intelligence warns of potential Ukrainian terror attacks in Hungary, Europe
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has issued a statement claiming that Ukraine may be planning terrorist attacks on Russian diplomatic missions in several European countries. According to the intelligence agency, these alleged plots are aimed at disrupting potential negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
Potential targets
According to their statement, the SVR suggests that Ukraine is most likely to attempt such operations in Germany, the Baltic States, and Scandinavian countries. The Russian intelligence service claims these countries were chosen due to their low level of cooperation with Russia and the fact that anti-terrorism collaboration between their intelligence services and Russia has practically ceased.
The SVR also mentions the possibility of attacks in Slovakia and Hungary. The intelligence agency speculates that these two EU member states might be targeted to discredit them, as they hold “special positions” in the Ukrainian conflict, 444.hu writes.
Motivation behind the alleged plots
According to the SVR, the Ukrainian authorities are considering these terrorist acts as a means to disrupt potential negotiations with Moscow and undermine the credibility of certain EU member states. The Russian intelligence service claims that European countries have noted Kyiv’s reluctance to reach agreements with Moscow.
It’s important to note that these allegations come solely from Russian sources and have not been independently verified or confirmed by other international intelligence agencies or Ukrainian officials.
