“... Hans-Jakob Schindler is well aware of the theory of Russian agents in Afghanistan. "It 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, says the terrorism expert and Middle East expert.   But: "Russia's goal is to cause social upheaval in Germany too." Acts of violence shortly before important elections would certainly play into the Russians' hands, says Schindler. "However, attacks cannot be timed precisely. For that to happen, Russia would have to intervene directly with the perpetrator in question."”
