Amazed by the brave German investigative reporter at RTL, Angelique Geray, who went undercover to expose Russia's covert recruitment network in Germany. The results are shocking. Undercover agents recruited via Telegram for cash, surveillance and sabotage taskings, and threats made against the journalist. This is the scale of what we’re up against. RTL investigation is not an isolated case — it follows a broader pattern of Russian sabotage operations all accross Europe. Putin invests heavily in destabilising Germany and other European nations, especially ahead of elections. He sees himself at war with Europe and aims to win it by undermining European states from within. Russia’s goal is to interfere in domestic affairs, manipulate public opinion, and exploit the most sensitive and divisive topics. We once again urge European governments to take this threat seriously, uncover Russia’s malicious influence, and take urgent and strong action against any Russian presence in Europe: close remaining Russian diplomatic and cultural footholds, sanction enablers, ban all Russian propaganda, tighten counterintelligence cooperation, and adopt other countermeasures. As one of the most experienced nations in countering Russian influence, Ukraine is ready to share its valuable experience upon our partners’ request.
