Germany is at “danger of becoming embroiled in a violent conflict with Russia” as Moscow intensifies an increasingly aggressive “shadow war” against European democracies, the head of the country’s foreign intelligence service has warned.
Martin Jaeger, head of Germany’s Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), said the confrontation with Russia had entered a “new, more dangerous dimension”, as he addressed lawmakers at the annual public hearing of Germany’s intelligence chiefs on Monday.
