A Hispanic man from South America spent just five days in the Czech Republic before attempting to set fire to a bus depot in Prague. In the Czech Republic they believe that he was recruited by the Russian intelligence service.

Russia is waging a “hybrid” sabotage campaign on the territory of European countries, as evidenced by the arson of a bus depot in Prague. This was stated by Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala.

The publication writes that on Saturday, Czech police detained a Spanish-speaking man from South America who had recently arrived in the country and early on Thursday morning poured gasoline on several buses in the Prague bus depot and tried to set them on fire. The damage caused was minor.

Fiala in his statement linked the arson to recent fires at an Ikea store in Vilnius and Poland's largest shopping center in Warsaw.

“Connection with Russia is not only possible, but also probable. This attack was likely organized and financed by Russia,” he said.

“In March, five people were recruited, including 20-year-old Briton Dylan Earle, who tried to set fire to the Ukrainian train in London. Last year, a Bulgarian spy group working for Russia and monitoring local military installations was uncovered in the UK. two men with German and Russian citizenship were arrested. They monitored military factories, weapons delivery routes, and the US base where Ukrainian tank crews are trained, and also planned sabotage at military and industrial facilities. were arrested in Poland, among them recruited Ukrainians and Belarusians who were trying to earn money as quickly as possible by performing seemingly simple tasks.”
