German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on 5 July that Russia is already conducting attacks on German soil, pointing to a series of recent incidents involving infrastructure sabotage and arson, including fires at military barracks. Merz told reporters that investigators have traced “almost all” of the evidence back to Moscow. The accusation heightens concerns in Berlin over Russia’s use of hybrid warfare tactics against NATO members and could prompt calls for tighter domestic security and coordinated European countermeasures.
