Germany arrests Kazakhstan citizen accused of spying for Russia
Prosecutors say he shared photos of NATO convoys and details on German defense contractors while offering to recruit other agents.
- On Tuesday, the German Federal Prosecutor's Office arrested a Kazakh man identified as Sergej K in Berlin on suspicion of spying for Russia, alleging he maintained continuous contact with a Russian intelligence service since May 2025.
- Sergej K allegedly provided his Russian handler with details regarding German military aid for Ukraine, including companies developing drones and robotic systems, and sent photos of NATO military convoys and public buildings.
- Allegations include the suspect offering to recruit agents and identifying "suitable targets for sabotage" in Germany, echoing previous arrests of alleged "disposable" agents known to carry out sabotage for Russia without formal training.
- Berlin summoned the Russian ambassador earlier this month to condemn what it called "direct threats" against "targets in Germany," with the Federal Foreign Office stating such espionage is "completely unacceptable" and intended to undermine support for Ukraine.
- Following a string of Moscow-linked plots, including 2024 arrests of two German-Russian dual nationals for plotting sabotage against United States military sites, authorities in Germany, the European Union, and NATO remain on high alert as relations with Russia reach Cold War levels.
