This is why West should stop accepting Ruzzians and stop any active visas. It’s a security concern.
While I too think the risk pose by Russian agents moving freely thru the EU must be addressed, these networks or ‘cells’ are very rarely composed by more than a few Russian Nationals, often a single ‘handler’ oversees a group of locals and eventually the handlers become far removed from the group itself making their detention difficult at least. My point simply is that most of these groups have been active for a long time and stoping Russian citizens traffic while absolutely necessary, it will have little effect on the complex network the Russians have build over the last 60 years; and while the article claims it was a ‘new’ (just a year old) cell I put that in doubt. More than once when a spy-ring has been discovered in a Western nation the official reports will claim the group was ‘new’ because no one wants to deal with the fallout from admitting a group of spies has been operating under their noises for a long time.
Sigh.
One would think that the attempt would have triggered Article 5, but no, utterly ignored.
Best for ruzzia if they don’t fuck with Poland.
That would certainly be article 5 eligable
What if people did the reverse and blew up Russians?
had they were successful, whole NATO and EU would still stick head in sand and will try hard to pretend that investigation results are inconclusive in order to not act against russia in any meaningful way

Art. 5. They wouldn’t be that stupid.
That sounds like an Article V violation
They should take them to the tracks, give them the explosives, and tell them “do it, do it and see what happens”
