New Facts: German Intelligence Chief Warns of Russia Conflict

At a public parliamentary hearing on Oct 5, BND chief Martin Jaeger said the confrontation with Russia has entered a new, more dangerous phase. "Germany is in danger of becoming embroiled in a violent conflict with Russia," he told lawmakers, calling Moscow’s campaign an aggressive shadow war against European democracies.

He cited hybrid threats including drone and cyber attacks, pointing to an attempted attack in Leipzig as an example. He said the threat to targets in Germany remains real and imminent and that such incidents are part of an escalating campaign that could pull the country into open violence.
