Russian security services

Politico reports that a Russian surveillance technology company allegedly infiltrated European law enforcement agencies. The same technology used by Western police forces was reportedly being developed in Russia and sold to Russian security services, raising questions about how Russian-made surveillance tools entered police systems across Europe.

Estonia has blamed Russia for an arson attack targeting an Estonian drone manufacturer that supplies military drones to Ukraine. The allegation points to a pattern of sabotage and hybrid attacks attributed to Russian services across Europe, raising security concerns in Baltic states. Officials have not detailed the evidence, and the incident is drawing attention to the vulnerability of defence firms backing Ukraine.
