Russia's plans for the assassination of defense industry leaders have expanded towards Western companies during the war in Ukraine, and Western intelligence services have warned about it. #Venäjä #UkrainanSota #Turvallisuus (translated)
Henri Vanhanen wrote that Finland should take seriously Russia's alleged plans to assassinate leaders of the European defense industry. According to him, European intelligence services had warned that Russia had intensified its assassination plots targeting business executives. Possible targets included not only large arms manufacturers but also smaller defense technology companies, especially manufacturers of drones and their components. Vanhanen referred to a plan revealed in 2024 to assassinate Armin Papperger, CEO of the German company Rheinmetall. He wrote that more recent intelligence data indicated broader and more systematic actions beyond individual cases. According to Vanhanen, Russia's intention was to undermine the European defense industry, intimidate its business leaders, complicate support for Ukraine, and disrupt the strengthening of Europe's defense capabilities. Vanhanen urged an urgent assessment of whether the protection of key personnel in Finland's defense industry is adequate. He suggested that the security police, police, and defense administration work together with companies to identify individuals at special risk and ensure preemptive action against threats. He proposed, if necessary, strengthening personal protection, enhancing counterintelligence efforts against companies, and improving information sharing among authorities. According to Vanhanen, Finland should not wait for the first attack on its territory before preparing. https://t.co/xVZMYe1R7e #Puolustusteollisuus #Venäjä #Suomi (translated)

Heavy charges of espionage, treason, and obtaining secret information for a foreign power have been brought against the German intelligence officer August Hanning, which has attracted attention in Germany and led the media to describe the case as the biggest espionage scandal of the century. #vakoilu #Saksa #tiedustelupalvelut (translated)
Henri Vanhanen wrote that the head of Germany's foreign intelligence had warned that Russia was waging a shadow war against Germany. According to him, the head of Germany's domestic intelligence had said that Russia was preparing sabotage and even assassinations on German territory. Vanhanen assessed that in Finland, it was sometimes assumed that Russian intelligence activities had some sort of invisible boundary of politeness that would prevent actions at people's doorsteps or overly brazen acts. He wrote that, in his opinion, Russian intelligence services did not operate according to the boundaries that Finns consider acceptable, but rather based on what works and where they are given space. According to Vanhanen, naivety was not a strong security policy. https://t.co/gjetkWxfTV #Venäjä #tiedustelu #turvallisuuspolitiikka (translated)
6. Heinäkuussa 2026 brittitiedustelu arvioi Putinin valmistelevan Naton testaamista jopa lähikuukausina.

Kysymys on paljolti siitä onko meistä #Putin #Nato #Venäjä #GB #DE #RU
Brittien ja Hollannin tiedustelupalvelut arvioivat Venäjän menettäneen jo puoli miljoonaa sotilasta kaatuneina. Putin tekee historiallista ennätystä joka vaikuttaa Venäjän jo valmiiksi heikkenevään väestörakenteeseen pitkän ajan. https://t.co/6Sn80KgdtX #Venäjä #sotilaallisetmenetykset #Putin #FI #RU
