Ukrainian Man Convicted in German Sabotage Plot | Europe News
Description
A German court convicted a 30-year-old Ukrainian man for spying on behalf of Russian intelligence, sentencing him to 15 months in prison after he sent GPS-tracked packages to Ukraine to map out sabotage targets. Two other Ukrainians, aged 22 and 25, were acquitted — prosecutors couldn’t prove they knew the full scope of the explosive plot. The case underscores rising foreign interference threats in Germany, especially as it remains a key ally to Ukraine. Earlier this year, a drone loaded with explosives was discovered at Leipzig Airport, highlighting the escalating security risks across Europe. Both the convicted man and prosecutors may appeal the verdict.
