U.S. and allied intelligence officials are tracking an increase in low-level #sabotage operations in Europe that they say are
part of a Russian campaign 🔸to undermine support for #Ukraine’s war effort.🔸

The covert operations have mostly been #arsons or attempted arsons targeting a wide range of sites,
including a #warehouse in England,
a paint #factory in Poland,
#homes in Latvia and, most oddly,
an Ikea #store in Lithuania.

But people accused of being Russian operatives have also been arrested on charges of
plotting attacks on U.S. #military #bases.

While the acts might appear random, American and European security officials say they are part of
a concerted effort by #Russia
🔹to slow arms transfers to Kyiv 🔹
and create ♦️the appearance of growing European opposition to support for Ukraine. ♦️

The officials say Russia’s military intelligence arm
-- the G.R.U.
-- is leading the campaign
