    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The German Federal Prosecutor’s office said in a statement that two German-Russian nationals — named only as Dieter S. and Alexander J. in line with the country’s privacy rules — were working with a Russian secret service agent to undermine international military support for Ukraine.

    Arrest warrants dated April 9 accuse both men of working for a foreign secret service and carrying out “activity for sabotage purposes” and for obtaining “security-threatening depictions of military installations,” prosecutors said.

    A separate arrest warrant dated April 11 accuses Dieter S. of membership of a foreign terrorist organization and of “preparation of a serious act of violence that endangers the state.”

    This warrant notes the “strong suspicion” that he was active as a pro-Russian solider 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.
