"... Hans-Jakob Schindler, for example, a terrorism expert from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), sees three groups as possible suspects: Russian or Russian-backed actors, radical Islamists or left-wing extremists. He considers one suspicion to be particularly likely: "The first thing I would check is whether it was a Russian or Russian-backed attack attempt or whether it was at least Russian-initiated," said Schindler in an interview with IPPEN.MEDIA . There is much to support this theory. Germany has been the focus of Russian attackers since 2022 at the latest, if not since the Minsk Agreement in 2015. And the NATO base in Geilenkirchen in particular plays a special role in the context of the Ukraine war: AWACS aircraft are stationed there, which can be used to observe movements on NATO's eastern flank."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted: "The Russian actions come as no surprise to terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler. The aim of such a disinformation campaign is to spread uncertainty, he explained to ZDFheute."
