TL;DR Summary

Two German-Russian nationals have been arrested in Germany for allegedly plotting sabotage attacks on U.S. military facilities to undermine military support for Ukraine on behalf of Russia. One of the suspects had discussed possible plots with a person linked to the Russian secret service, and was prepared to carry out bomb and arson attacks on military facilities. Germany has become a major target for Russian spying operations due to its significant military aid to Ukraine. The arrests coincide with a surprise trip by German Economy Minister Robert Habeck to Ukraine and an urgent appeal for countries to help shore up Ukraine's air defenses.
