Denmark denounces Russian sabotage plans against defense companies

Danish authorities have revealed concrete plans by Russia to carry out sabotage actions against companies in Denmark, Danish public service broadcaster DR reports. “We see that Danish companies are also the object of concrete sabotage plans by Russia and that the Russian secret services are actively preparing sabotage actions aimed at the defense industry in Denmark,” said Emil Græsholm, head of Danish counter-intelligence at the PET, the Danish security police, in an interview with the Berglinske newspaper. Part of the sensitive targets are companies that produce weapons for the war in Ukraine and the PET warns that Russia is actively trying to recruit people to help in Denmark: "It is extremely serious if Danish citizens help the Russian secret services, whether intentionally or unintentionally", remarked Graesholm.
