In an alarming response to the increasing hybrid threats, Interior Minister Dobrindt sees Germany in the crosshairs of Putin's shadow war. Recent incidents, including GPS trackers in packages, drone flyovers at Bundeswehr sites, and damaged data cables, have heightened the security situation. To address these challenges, the German government has announced the establishment of a new defense center focusing on combating sabotage, espionage, and disinformation. This center aims not only to enhance security measures but also to improve collaboration among various security agencies to ensure comprehensive protection of critical infrastructure.
