Germany Detains Ukrainian for Russian Espionage; Russia Detains German for Mercenary Activity

German authorities have detained a Ukrainian national in Brandenburg on suspicion of spying for Russia, allegedly collecting data on German defense industry and Bundeswehr sites. This arrest, confirmed by German federal prosecutors, is part of an 'intensive' Russian espionage campaign in Germany, as publicly stated by Chancellor Merz. Concurrently, Russia's FSB has claimed the arrest of a German national in Russia on mercenary charges for Ukraine, signaling a potential reciprocal escalation in detentions.
