Investigations: Russian -speaking posting for an arson attack on the Bundeswehr

After the arson attack on six Bundeswehr trucks in Erfurt, a video was published in a Russian-language telegram channel. The burning trucks can be seen in the clip. In addition, photos of the trucks appeared there in an undamaged and later damaged condition. The Telegram Canal is entitled “Obsessed by the War”. MDR and “T-Online” had previously reported.

The posting for the video in Russian states: “In Erfurt in Germany, various military equipment is brought for the Ukrainian armed forces. Our people decided that all of this was unnecessary and that the Ukrainian armed forces did not need such equipment. So they simply burned them.”

The State Criminal Police Office of Thuringia, which leads the investigation into the arson attack, told the MDR that the authenticity was checked. It is unclear whether the trucks destroyed during the attack were actually intended for Ukraine, as is claimed in the posting. According to the MDR, the Bundeswehr did not give a statement.

In Erfurt, military vehicles were presumably set on fire at the same place in June last year. So far, the LKA has not given any information about the background.

Two weeks ago, six Bundeswehr vehicles also burned in Soltau in Lower Saxony, and they were also parked on a workshop area. A confession letter had appeared in Soltau after the crime. A group called “Agenda2029” wrote on the left -wing extremist internet platform “Indymedia”: “A further intensification of a global war is being prepared here in Germany, so we have to sabotage the centers of the warsters.”
