Various Western experts have warned of the “dark” intentions that Vladimir Putin would have between his eyebrows, with Europe as the main objective This information has been published by various British tabloids, which claim that the Russian president could cause major accidents, mass deaths and destruction in the Old Continent.
One of the voices that have spoken most insistently along these lines has been Keir Giles, researcher at the Chatham House research institutewhose specialty focuses on British foreign policy and a prestigious Russian researcher.
Thus, in a recent interview he gave to the British media The Telegraph, He assured that Russia is immersed in a “secret war” against the West. “We should be concerned that Russia is willing to consider causing major accidents in Europeas demonstrated with this plane plot,” he stated
With the reference to the plane, Giles is referring to the DHL cargo plane accident that took place last week in Lithuania. Although Russia has not been officially blamed, from their Crisis Management Center they claim that it was caused by a technical reason.
Thus, and according to the information obtained by Western intelligence services, Moscow would have been responsible for the explosives found in the DHL logistics centers in Leipzig (Germany) and Birmingham (United Kingdom), which caused fires.
The intelligence services assure that the incidents in both cities are part of the Russian campaign to set fire to airplanes, which was confirmed and evidenced after what happened in Lithuania.
Despite this, “It’s hard to say how big this is, because we only know of the cases that come to light. Furthermore, some come to light by accident. “Some states are very keen to keep it secret,” Giles said.
Another expert, in this case Ken McCallum, head of the British intelligence service MI5, also spoke out regarding this type of practices carried out by Russia during a speech last October. On that occasion, just as Giles stated, he assured that Russia’s objective is to cause chaos in the United Kingdom.
Thus, McCallum stated that the Russian military intelligence service (GRU) “has a particularly long-term mission to cause the case on the streets of Britain and Europe”and states that “we have seen arson, sabotage and more dangerous actions that have been carried out with increasing recklessness.”
Furthermore, according to Giles, since 2019 it was clear that Russia’s objective was to sow chaos in Europe in an increasingly brazen and prepared way, something that according to the expert “describes the implementation of Russia’s actions.”
