“... Hans-Jakob Schindler is aware of the theory of Russian agents in Afghanistan. "That is entirely possible, we had corresponding indications," said the director of the NGO Counter Extremism Project (CEP) in an interview with this editorial team. However, this cannot currently be proven, said the terrorism expert. But Russia's aim is to cause social unrest in Germany. Acts of violence shortly before important elections would suit the Russians well, explains Schindler: "However, attacks cannot be timed precisely. For that to happen, Russia would have to intervene directly with the perpetrator in question." If there had been direct Russian intervention, "this should have been noticed during the investigations into the attacks of the last few months."”
