Details: According to sources, Russia has launched a series of sabotage operations at weapons factories in Europe under the cover of "plausible deniability". The Kremlin is recruiting members of local criminal gangs and carefully planning the attacks so that they do not reach the threshold that would trigger NATO's Article 5 on mutual defence.
