I don't think Russians are directly behind this. They targeted trains in Poland twice, but I suspect the next targets would be in Germany, France and the UK, and not Spain which is relatively conservative in supporting Ukraine.

The are actively sabotaging supply chains within Europe since at least two years. They did the drone overflights for propaganda purposes. They burnt down warehouses and tried to kill CEOs. Many Ukrainian refugees in Germany have been killed in "random" attacks.

In 2025, sabotage attacks on German railroad system happened nearly once per week. The recent power outage in Berlin was clearly attributed to russian origin.

In Spain there have been assassinations related to the russian invasion, for example https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-spain-shooting-madrid-d25...

It's about spreading terror and showing that the government cannot protect the citizens.

Literally nothing you have said is backed up by any evidence. Provide evidence, please, or retract your nonsense claims.

Opinion is not fact. Provide some facts to support your atrocious claims. You have provided only an opinion based on specious references to groupthink.

> atrocious claims

For you these are "atrocious claims", for others it's an acknowledgement of russia as the terrorist state that it is.

Spaniard here. Nope; we are full of "take the money and run" type CEO's, where they even blamed the train driver. He might be partially accountable, but it wasn't his fault in the very end.

This happened in 2013.

Attacks by russia on German railways happen at least once per month, the last one happened yesterday and a train with chemicals was targeted. They attack our production.

Spain is not Germany geopolitically.

There is absolutely no viable evidence presented to support the claim that Russia is responsible for these attacks. It could just as easily be claimed that the CIA is responsible for these attacks - simply because the USA also stand to benefit from such actions. However it would be inappropriate to make this claim without evidence.

You are spreading disinformation.
