Russia recruiting ‘ordinary Danes’ for sabotage, Danish spy chief warns

Danish intelligence says Russia is trying to recruit ordinary Danes to help plan sabotage, potentially targeting military sites, infrastructure and other sensitive locations. The warning comes as Copenhagen assesses a growing threat from Moscow’s covert operations across Europe. Recruiters may approach people through online platforms or criminal networks, offering money for seemingly simple tasks. Officials urge citizens to report suspicious contact and avoid involvement. The assessment underscores Denmark’s vulnerability as a NATO member supporting Ukraine and hosting important military infrastructure.
