Germany is at growing risk of being drawn into a violent conflict with Russia as Moscow intensifies what German officials describe as a “shadow war” against European democracies, the head of Germany’s foreign intelligence service warned Monday.
The BND chief said the confrontation with Russia had entered a “new, more dangerous dimension.” The warning was reported by Reuters, Sky News, Politico, the Financial Times and Deutsche Welle, which said Moscow was already waging a “shadow war” against Europe.
The intelligence chief linked the heightened danger to Russia’s increasingly aggressive stance toward European countries. The reports did not describe a conventional military clash as inevitable, but said the risk of violent conflict was rising as the shadow confrontation developed.
