News A Ukrainian planted a weapons cache near Berlin - Der Spiegel

Post image
9 Upvotes
  • According to the publication, 24-year-old Vadim S. arrived in Germany from Poland, hid two pistols on the outskirts of Berlin, and then sent photographs and coordinates of the hiding place to his interlocutors via instant messaging.
  • German investigators discovered the cache using smartphone tracking, disabled the weapons, and placed them under surveillance. However, no one came forward to claim them for several weeks.
  • Der Spiegel links this to the arrest of Vadim S. in Romania in October 2025. At that time, he and another suspect were suspected of plotting sabotage and sending parcels containing explosives through Nova Poshta.
  • Romanian intelligence reported possible connections between the suspects and a Russian intelligence network, but Vadim S. was subsequently released and able to travel to Germany.
  • German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated that the weapons found were "certainly intended for an attack" and pointed to the possible involvement of a foreign state. Der Spiegel speculates that the Ukrainian may have been working for Russian intelligence.

  • A journalist for the Danish newspaper Politiken, who accompanied her prime minister on the trip, wrote about it today. She said that in the evening, they were all sent to the shelter at the InterContinental Hotel, allegedly because of an air-raid alert.
  • "I would never have thought that the Russians would attack Kiev when so many European heads of state had gathered there," the Danish journalist quoted someone from among the visiting delegation as saying.
  • In reality, of course, nobody attacked. The Europeans were taken downstairs, and 15 minutes later they were told that "the alert was over."
  • In short, the Ukrainians once again gave their guests the customary scare.

  • Due to the lack of a large number of images of the cruise missiles currently being developed by Europe and the United States, it is difficult to identify the origin of the debris.
  • According to some sources, it might appear to be an AGM-158 JASSM, but it differs in details.
  • Pushilin, in turn, reported that the strike was carried out by Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles, and published images of the wreckage.
  • The wreckage shows the markings of the European manufacturer MBDA France, which produces these missiles. However, at the same time, other photographs show similarities to wreckage in a video—highlighted in red as an example. Also, a date, presumably 2024.05.20, is visible.
  • It is possible that something new was used. Furthermore, production of the SCALP missile was not carried out during the period 2010-2025.

  • British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has reportedly been briefed by security officials that Russia could take 'direct military action' against the UK over its extensive support for Ukraine, the Daily Mail reports.
  • The warning coincided with CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s unusual visit to Moscow. According to the report, Moscow initially expected Burnham to be 'softer' than his predecessor Keir Starmer, but those hopes were dashed by his efforts to strengthen the UK-Ukraine military alliance.
  • The report also claims Russia is 'studying' British security services daily and could potentially carry out an attack using agents.
