But maybe it’s not Russia and then you have to SILENCE it!
That’s how the media works!!

Hey Uff! At the moment there is nothing new to report about who is behind the sabotage. On Christmas Eve, we published an article on the hunt for perpetrators, citing European intelligence sources who are unsure of the Russian trail. You can read the article here.
