This is the best summary I could come up with:
Arrest warrants dated April 9 accuse both men of working for a foreign secret service, carrying out “activity for sabotage purposes” and obtaining “security-threatening depictions of military installations,” prosecutors said.
A separate arrest warrant dated April 11 accuses Dieter S. of membership in a foreign terrorist organization and of “preparation of a serious act of violence that endangers the state.”
The warrant notes the “strong suspicion” that he was active as a pro-Russian soldier in an armed wing of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, engaging in the ongoing war for control of Ukraine.
Oleksiy Danilov, the former coordinator of Ukraine’s war Cabinet, told The Times of London last month: “We have made multiple warnings to our German partners about the spy network of Russians that are very active in Germany.”
Germany accused Russia of “information war” last month after Russian state media published the audio of a private discussion among high-ranking German military officers about support for Ukraine, sparking embarrassment in Berlin and glee in Moscow.
“We know that the Russian power apparatus is also targeting our country," Justice Minister Marco Buschmann wrote on X after the arrests, adding that Germany “must respond to this threat defensively and decisively.”
