Russian military intelligence operatives linked to the 2018 Salisbury Novichok poisonings are reportedly leading a new campaign of sabotage against Western nations. Recent explosions at warehouses and on cargo planes in Europe have raised suspicions of Russian involvement. Anatoliy Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin, the suspects in the Salisbury case, are said to be recruiting criminals for these attacks. They are targeting countries opposed to Russia's actions in Ukraine, according to investigative journalist Christo Grozev. Western governments have accused Russia of orchestrating these sabotage efforts to destabilize allies of Ukraine. Incidents include fires at DHL facilities in the UK and Germany, with authorities suspecting a coordinated campaign by Russia's GRU agency.
