So Unit 29155 has now been linked to three attempted assassination attempts using nerve agents, 5 warehouse explosions and one fire to cover up their involvement in the explosions, all in EU counties. Seems like it's time for a serious EU wide inquiry into Russian spy activity.
This doesn't even include things like the Berlin bicycle assassination, or the attempted coup in Montenegro, and all the other stuff we don't know about.
There's also many other trips to locations across Europe that have involved Unit 29155 members where we still don't know why they were there. It's clear they're involved in everything from coups to assassinations, so I think it's fair to assume the worse.
This isn't some minor issue that can be ignored, it's a decade of assassinations, coup attempts and sabotage that has killed European citizens and have involved nerve agents being used on European soil.
Will it take a GRU officer dropping a bottle of nerve agent on a European high street for there to be any serious action? Or do MEPs and European states think there's an acceptable level of assassinations, explosions and coup attempts in Europe?
What is the price in blood our leaders are willing to pay to play nice with Russia? Because it certainly seems to be more than zero, so it would be nice to know how many people have to die.
