Germany accuses Russian citizen of planning attacks on US military bases

German prosecutors announced on Thursday, October 31, that they had charged a man with Russian and German citizenship who fought in pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine with terrorist crimes and threatening national security.

The suspect, identified as Dieter S., was one of two people arrested in April on suspicion of planning attacks in Germany, including on US military bases, with the aim of preventing aid to Ukraine. In August, several military bases in western Germany (one of them used by NATO) were briefly threatened, Agence France-Presse reported.

The German federal prosecutor's office said Dieter S. was charged with “preparing a serious act of violence that threatens state security.” He is also accused of fighting in an armed unit of the self-proclaimed pro-Russian “Donetsk People's Republic” in eastern Ukraine from 2014 to 2016. Prosecutors say the group he belonged to “has repeatedly resorted to violence against civilians.”

After Dieter S. was arrested in April, authorities said he “had been in contact with someone connected to Russian intelligence” and had been exchanging information with them since October 2023 about possible sabotage operations in Germany.

On Thursday, prosecutors said a separate investigation into possible charges against Dieter S. for “involvement in intelligence activities” should be completed soon.
