Security services say spate of fires and infrastructure attacks could be part of systemic attempt by Russia to destabilise continent

Security services around Europe are on alert to a potential new weapon of Russia’s war – arson and sabotage – after a spate of mystery fires and attacks on infrastructure in the Baltics, Germany and the UK.

When a fire broke out in Ikea in Vilnius in Lithuania this month, few passed any remarks until the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, suggested it could have been the work of a foreign saboteur.

    Destroying a historic monument or building to demoralise would make more sense. Instead, we have the Russian War on Low Prices.

      Nothing of this will work like that though, because Europeans are not tame and obidient in nature. A lot even rebellious. This will get more support for sanctions vs russia, military support for Ukraine and even some outrcries to strike russia directly.
