Two Arrested for Espionage Targeting Ukraine Drone Supplier

On March 24, 2026, German authorities arrested two individuals accused of spying for Russia on a businessman supplying drones to Ukraine. The arrests were made in Germany and Spain, targeting Sergey N., a Ukrainian national, and Alla S., a Romanian national. The espionage activities began in December 2025, with Sergey N. initially surveilling the target in Germany before relocating to Spain, where Alla S. took over the operation. The suspects gathered intelligence online and filmed the target's workplace, potentially preparing for further operations against him. The German Federal Prosecutor's Office indicated that the espionage could have included plans for violent actions against the businessman. Both suspects are currently in custody, with extradition proceedings for Sergey N. underway. The businessman is reported to be in a safe location and has taken precautions due to the nature of his work.

Key Points: • Two suspects arrested for spying on a drone supplier to Ukraine. • Espionage activities began in December 2025 and involved surveillance and filming. • The arrests reflect ongoing concerns about Russian espionage in Europe.
