Germany arrests three Ukrainians suspected of plotting blasts for Russian intelligence

This was reported by Bild and Deutsche Welle.

According to the German prosecutor's office, the suspects planned to send parcels containing explosive devices from Germany to recipients in Ukraine — with the intention that the devices would detonate during transit.

It is alleged that one of the Ukrainians sent two test parcels to Cologne as part of a route reconnaissance effort; these parcels reportedly contained GPS trackers.

Two Ukrainian nationals were detained in Cologne and Konstanz and are currently in custody. Meanwhile, a third suspect is in Switzerland and is expected to be extradited to Germany soon.
