EU officials are discussing adding Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU, to the bloc's list of terrorist organizations. The initiative follows a series of sabotage acts and other hybrid attacks across Europe, in which authorities in several countries suspect Russian intelligence services of involvement. The move would mark a significant escalation in the EU's response to Moscow's covert operations on European soil, and it is drawing wide attention as governments weigh the diplomatic and legal implications.
