This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two Russian nationals have been arrested in southern Germany suspected of plotting sabotage attacks on US military facilities, German prosecutors announced on Thursday.
The men, named as Dieter S and Alexander J, are suspected of operating as Russian spies on behalf of the Kremlin, according to German media sources.
The suspects were arrested on Tuesday and Thursday last week, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement, adding that their homes and workplaces were being searched.
In addition, Dieter S, reportedly a 39-year-old dual Russian-German citizen, is charged with “conspiring to cause an explosive attack and arson, acting as an agent for sabotage purposes and security-endangering collection of intelligence on military installations”.
The prosecutors said that based on “underlying facts”, there was also a strong suspicion that Dieter S had worked in eastern Ukraine between December 2014 and September 2016 as a fighter for an armed unit of the “Donetsk People’s Republic” and had acquired a firearm for this purpose.
Dieter S was reportedly brought before judges at Germany’s federal court of justice in Karlsruhe on Wednesday and remanded in custody.
