The leaders of Nato member states will meet in Washington DC in a few weeks and one of the topics of discussion will be how to tackle escalating incidents of Russian sabotage.
Ahead of the summit on July 9-11, there has been increased Russian intelligence activity across Nato member states. The Dutch National Security Agency warned that it is possible Russia has orchestrated various arson and sabotage attacks in the UK, Poland, Sweden and Germany. In the meantime, the Nato secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said that the organisation had increased its vigilance and was closely monitoring Russian activities.
In the UK, the National Security Act 2023 has been used for the first time to charge a man with assisting a foreign intelligence service following his arson attack targeting Ukrainian businesses on March 20.
