German intelligence has accused Russia of systematically undermining relations between Europe and the US, German Spiegel Online magazine wrote, citing a new report prepared jointly by the Federal Intelligence Service and the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
The authors of the paper have concluded that Moscow has been trying to exacerbate conflicts that existed in the West and undermine the alliance between the EU and the US.
“In their recent report, BND and German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution came to the conclusion that Russia’s influence in the EU could have been observed for years. In particular, Moscow tried to sharpen social conflicts, especially those existing in the West,” the magazine wrote.
According to first deputy head of the committee on defense in the Russian Federation Council Yevgeny Serebrennikov, such accusations arise from the fact that certain forces in the European Union are afraid of a possible rapprochement between Russia and the United States, which is why they are trying to do everything to preserve the old system.
