Deep dives
Increased Russian Sabotage Activities in Europe
The Polish government has expelled Russian diplomats in response to numerous sabotage attempts, particularly highlighting incidents in places like Wroclaw. Russian efforts to disrupt humanitarian shipments to Ukraine have gained attention, as they target food and medical supplies, unable to effectively attack military shipments. The broader context of diplomatic expulsions across Europe reveals how countries with robust intelligence networks recognized the presence of Russian intelligence assets and acted to remove them. The expulsion of these agents has led to a shift in their deployment, redirecting their focus to more destabilizing activities outside of Europe.
Russian Influence and Instability in Africa
Former Russian diplomats, now operating as intelligence agents in Africa, are contributing to an increase in coup attempts, altering the strategic orientation of several nations. These actions not only destabilize governments but also generate refugee crises that could impact Europe in the long term. A notable consequence of these coups is the control over valuable resources like gold, which has become critical for Russia following sanctions that limit their access to global financial systems. Through entities like Wagner, Russia exploits these resources, using the proceeds to fund their imports, particularly via clandestine operations involving gold transport.
