This doesn't seem like a series of isolated incidents anymore. According to the Reuters agency, on March 30, the German prosecutors informed of the detention in Hagen of a 53-year-old Ukrainian citizen, Vitali M., suspected of collecting information for Russian intelligence about a man surviving in Germany who had previously fought on the side of the Ukrainian army. According to the national lawyer General, this reconnaissance could besides service to “prepare further intelligence operations against the mark in Germany”. This is the minute erstwhile the usual word "spying" ceases to suffice. It's no longer passive information gathering. This could be an introduction to threats, pressure, physical impact or the preparation of operations within the European Union.
