Putin spies behind deadly Salisbury Novichok poisonings ‘spearheading Russia sabotage attacks on West in new hybrid war’
VLADIMIR A new sabotage effort against the West is allegedly being led by Putin’s spies responsible for the Salisbury Novichok poisonings.
Following a string of unexplained explosions at DHL warehouses throughout Europe, concerns about potentially harmful Russian meddling have been rekindled in recent weeks.
Additionally, there are mounting suspicions that Russia may have contributed to this week’s deadly DHL airline catastrophe.
According to a recent Moscow-based source, two feared GRU military intelligence officers are enlisting criminals to carry out these strikes.
Due to their deployment of the lethal Sailsbury nerve poison in 2018, the infamous spy duo of Anatoliy Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin are wanted in the United Kingdom.
According to prominent investigative journalist Christo Grozev, the two men are now suspected of being responsible for a slew of recent occurrences that have been connected to the GRU.

He disclosed that in order to carry out clandestine strikes, both agents have been enlisting criminals and former special forces personnel.
According to Christo, they have been going after nations that oppose Putin’s unlawful invasion in Ukraine.
The people who poisoned [ex-spy Sergei] Skripal [in Salisbury] are now hiring [saboteurs] since they are unable to travel the world themselves, he told Russian channel TV Rain.
They are literally bringing in criminals from all over the world, thanks to Anatoliy Chepiga and his colleague Mishkin.
It is being carried out from St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Sevastopol.
General Andrey Averyanov, the military intelligence spymaster, is still alleged to have authority over the Salisbury suspects.
The 60-year-old, who serves as the deputy chief of the GRU, was the brains behind the clandestine GRU unit 29155, whose members are suspected of murder and sabotage throughout Europe.
According to Christo, two of Averyanov’s closest allies in the organization are still Chepiga and Mishkin.
He went on to claim that both of them are “engaged in training and recruitment spies”
During the conflict, Mishkin has also engaged in sabotage on Ukrainian territory.
Christo claims that the couple aims to incite low-level criminals in Eastern Europe to carry out terrorist activities.
DHL-linked explosions across Europe
Western nations claim that Moscow may be behind a slew of fires and sabotage attacks in Europe that are intended to undermine Ukraine’s supporters.
A suspicious parcel was set on fire at a DHL depot in Minworth, Birmingham, on July 22.
In Leipzig, Germany, in July, a container that was scheduled to be loaded onto a DHL cargo jet caught fire.
In the meantime, it took over two hours to extinguish a fire at a transport hub close to Jablonow, which is close to Warsaw, Poland.
Four people were taken into custody by Polish police, who also suggested that the alleged Russian arson attacks might have served as a practice run for potential US strikes.
The fears were allegedly part of a planned operation run by the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence organization.

Other attacks on warehouses and railway networks in EU member states this year, including Sweden and the Czech Republic, are thought to have been carried out by Moscow, which denies any involvement in the sabotage.
Western countries, such as the US, UK, and Britain, have frequently charged Russia with attempting to undermine countries who give Ukraine financial and military support.
