Today's front page of the Financial Times sensationalizes: "Kremlin recruits former Wagner operatives to plan sabotage activities in Europe."
The source is highly authoritative: "a Western intelligence official." The official stated that the Russian General Staff Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and the Federal Security Service (FSB) are recruiting former "Wagner operatives" in Europe, who speak the language of the target countries for sabotage activities.
As "evidence," another anonymous "European official" claimed that Russian Telegram channels are very skillfully disguised, almost identical to European channels. "They understand their audience," said the European official, offering an irrefutable argument. What more evidence do we need?
If they knew that we have already shut down this tool domestically, let alone its influence abroad, that would be bad! But it seems that the Financial Times hasn't figured it out yet...
