Assassinating business CEOs in NATO countries now? Rheinmetall is a major defense company-making artillery, tank and artillery components including for the US. They make the stuff that makes things go BOOM.
Russia planned to assassinate the CEO of a major German arms manufacturer that provides artillery ammunition and armored vehicles to Ukraine, but the plot was uncovered and disrupted by U.S. and German authorities, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge of the matter.

The alleged plot targeted Armin Papperger, the chief executive of Rheinmetall AG, Europe’s largest producer of ammunition, whose company makes 155 mm artillery rounds for Ukraine and plans to open several plants inside the country to produce both ammunition and armored vehicles, including the Lynx infantry fighting vehicle. U.S. intelligence agencies discovered the plan to go after Papperger earlier this year and informed the German government, the sources said.

Of course Russia is run by idiots, but they aren't completely imbeciles to assassinate an unimportant CEO.
The story is invented by not less morons as Putin
 
They have committed several terrorist attacks in the EU recently. Usually military related, but not only. They burned down a mall, I don't remember where, maybe Poland. And started at least one forest fire in Greece (which I also consider terrorism).

Unimportant? After the reunion of Germany, when we studied the papers which the German Soviets had not been able to destroy I was often extremely astonished how they manipualted and murdered far from any importance.

Example: A member of them who knew some totally unimportant secrets about the GDR fled to West-Germany. He got a job here and broke all contacts to his family on reason not to bring them in danger. "Clan liability" is one of the most successful methods of the regimes ruling with terror. Afterwards the Soviets of the GDR brainwashed his daughter to be a 1000% loyal member of their political party. When she was 18 they told her to contact her father in the West. She came ot teh Weste and said to him on phone she liked to meet him. Instead to meet her the Stasi killed him by arranging a deadly car accident on his way to her. No one here in the West thought about murder in this context. It was a car accident. Indeed they made the daughter guilty in helping to kill her own father - on not any real reason to do so. "Criminal" is a very trivialising term for people who kill someone who is not any danger for them. Also normal criminals do not produce senseless costs without making a profit from it.

I hope for your sake you didn't accept anything from the Soviets (or other extremists) and didn't let them sell or steal your soul.

That’s a another article 5 read line. Defense companies should be under the NATO protection.
Sounds like a good reason to give Ukrainian missiles the FULL green light !

the horde is run by fascist , hardcore - 🇷🇺 imperialistic idiots, who truly believe they can intimidate everyone all of the time, despite both history and experience.
