The arrests come amid heightened awareness among European countries about Russian-linked saboteurs targeting logistics networks across Europe.
Last July, packages ignited at logistics centres in Leipzig, Warsaw, and Birmingham within the span of a few days. Germany’s domestic secret service, the Verfassungsschutz, said that it was merely “a lucky coincidence” that mass casualties were avoided, as the July parcel bombs did not go off mid-air.
Previous reports linked the incidents to the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency. According to Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office, the goal was “to test the transfer channel for such parcels, which were ultimately to be sent to the United States of America and Canada.”....——Germany arrests Ukrainians over Russian-linked parcel bombing plot,

When you play the terror game with Russia (and we started that too as we escalated things), realize, that cuts two ways.
This has been going on for a while, all the arms factories in Germany and elsewhere catching fire, probably aren’t entirely coincidences. Downplayed by our government.
We simply do not want to accept the reality that Russia isn’t some backward Middle East regime we can push around at will.
They can fight back conventionally, fight in the media, push back economically, politically on the global stage, conduct unconventional warfare using proxies in the Middle East or Africa, target folks they don’t like inside the West, commit acts of sabotage in the West... all the way through nuclear war if that’s what we want.
They can go full spectrum: https://ndupress.ndu.edu/Portals/68/Images/jfq/jfq-75/torruella-figure1.jpg
All the games we play, they can play back:
Folks applauded this when it happened 2 1/2 years ago: https://thegrayzone.com/2023/04/03/bellingcat-terror-attack-st-petersburg-cafe/
Folks rationalized this when it happened 3 years ago (one of the earlier attacks from our side): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62621509
Give it some time. It takes time to get the wheels rolling in these new types of warfare frontiers.
