German prosecutors have said three Ukrainian men acting as “foreign agents” for Russia were arrested on suspicion of planning to plant explosive devices in transported goods.

German investigators on Wednesday said that three men have been arrested on suspicion of acting as “agents” for “sabotage” on behalf of Russia.

Officials said the three, all Ukrainian nationals, were prepared to commit acts of arson and planned to ship packages containing explosive devices, and had conveyed this to individuals “believed to be acting on behalf of Russian state authorities.”

The suspects allegedly intended to target goods transports headed to Ukraine, which would “ignite during transport,” federal prosecutors said.
