Russian spies have turned real estate across Western Europe into a 'Trojan horse' network aimed at conducting coordinated sabotage campaigns, according to intelligence sources cited by the British newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph'.
According to a report by 'The Daily Telegraph,' Russian spies have established a network of real estate throughout Western Europe, utilizing properties as strategic points for coordinated sabotage efforts. Citing intelligence agencies, the article reveals that Russian operatives take advantage of loose legal regulations in at least 12 European countries to purchase properties near military and civilian installations.
These acquisitions include residential homes, warehouses, abandoned schools, and even entire islands, all intended to serve as bases for surveillance, sabotage, and covert attacks against the West. The concerns raised by current and former members of three European intelligence services point to a more extensive strategy by Russia to escalate its hybrid warfare against Western nations.
Moreover, there are alarming indications that Russia may have already procured explosives, drones, weapons, and agents prepared to act in a crisis. The article further highlights a growing number of sabotage incidents linked to Russian activities, including fires in London and Warsaw, escalating fears of a more organized and directed campaign against Western interests.
