Germany has formally attributed two significant incidents to Russia: a cyber-attack on air traffic control and attempts to influence its federal election.
A spokesman for the German foreign ministry identified Russian military intelligence as the alleged perpetrator behind a cyber-attack that targeted German air traffic control systems in August 2024.
The spokesman further stated that Russia sought to influence and destabilize Germany's federal election, which took place in February of the current year.
Following these allegations, Germany summoned the Russian ambassador to address the issues. The German government announced its intention to implement counter-measures in close coordination with its European partners, aiming to respond to what it termed 'hybrid actions' by Russia.
No immediate official response from Russia has been reported regarding these claims.
