US and Germany Foil Russian Plot to Assassinate Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger Supplying Ukraine
Jul 11, 2024, 05:28 PM
US and German intelligence agencies have foiled a Russian plot to assassinate Armin Papperger, the CEO of Rheinmetall, a prominent German arms manufacturer supplying artillery shells and military vehicles to Ukraine. The plot, uncovered earlier this year by US intelligence and reported by CNN, was confirmed by five US and western officials. It was part of a broader series of Russian assassination plans targeting defense industry executives across Europe who support Ukraine's war effort. The US informed German authorities, who then took measures to protect Papperger and thwart the assassination attempt, which was in its final stages. NATO diplomats have voiced concern over Russia's unconventional warfare tactics aimed at destabilizing NATO members and disrupting Western aid to Ukraine.
