Denmark says Russia has conducted sabotage attacks against its defense firms - Reuters

Denmark’s intelligence services have announced that Russia has carried out sabotage operations against Danish companies that produce defence equipment. The statement was made public on Wednesday following an internal assessment of recent incidents targeting the sector.

The sabotage is directed at firms that supply weapons and related technology to Ukraine, a key recipient of Western military assistance. Danish officials say the attacks are part of a broader effort to undermine the flow of arms to Kyiv.

According to the intelligence assessment, the Russian campaign began after it concluded that earlier attempts to disrupt Western support for Ukraine had failed to achieve their objectives. The shift to direct sabotage of supply‑chain firms is presented as a response to that perceived shortfall.

Details of the sabotage methods have not been disclosed, but authorities are conducting investigations and have warned affected companies to enhance security measures. The Danish government is coordinating with allied partners to monitor and counter further hostile activities.

The announcement comes amid heightened concerns across Europe about covert Russian actions aimed at weakening the military aid network supporting Ukraine, and it underscores ongoing security challenges linked to the conflict.
