Comment on EU confirms tighter visa rules for Russians to help stop ‘sabotage’
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 2 days agoen.wikipedia.org/…/Russian_sabotage_operations_in… has a decent overview.
There were a bunch of train derailments in Spain a couple years ago that were immediately blamed on Russia.
An investigation later revealed that “local radio enthusiasts” were responsible, and the headline of the article admitting so still made it seem like Russia was to blame.^[euronews.com/…/is-russian-sabotage-behind-20-rece…]
wasnt it the same story with the power outage in spain? i think there’s a pattern here.
Lol this starts with nordstream. Deeply unserious
I’m sorry have you actually read the article?
Russia has a history of covert operations and sabotage in Europe dating back to the Cold War,
and its military doctrine has long emphasized targeting enemy infrastructure.
As of 2025, responsibility for the 26 September 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions was unclear.
unclear
In 2023–2024, multiple undersea cables and pipelines in the Baltic Sea were severed or damaged, heightening suspicions of Russian sabotage.
On 8 October 2022, unknown saboteurs severed two Deutsche Bahn fibre-optic cables in Germany, … and some raised suspicions of Russian involvement.
Railway sabotage occurred in Poland, a key transit country for NATO military aid to Ukraine.
On 8 May 2024, an IKEA store in Vilnius was set ablaze after closing hours.
And on and on and on and on and on
The only times there actually is evidence, if it targets aid to the Ukrainian nazi-led civil war in donbass.
