According to the Bild report, German intelligence services are said to have received information that the fire at the Diehl company in Berlin-Lichterfelde was an attack by Russia. It was noticeable that Russian media picked up the information about the fire at the beginning of May very quickly. The Berliner Zeitung was the first to report on this.

“According to BILD information, a foreign intelligence service has informed German secret services that there is concrete evidence of Russian involvement,” reports Paul Ronzheimer on Bild.de. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) has received intelligence information that Russian forces could be behind the fire, reports Bild. Bild quotes CDU defense expert Roderich Kiesewetter as saying: “There are indications that Russia is deliberately committing acts of sabotage on EU territory. That must worry us. The critical infrastructure in Germany must be better protected.”

The fire broke out on May 3 at Diehl in Lichterfelde – was it a technical defect?

The fire broke out on May 3 in a production facility belonging to Diehl Metal Applications in Lichterfelde. A technical room on the first floor of the factory building was ablaze. A huge cloud of smoke had formed over the west of the capital. Residents were asked to keep their windows closed. At one point, according to the fire department, there were even concerns about poisonous gases. They later gave the all-clear. The cloud of smoke that drifted over the city center was no longer a cause for concern.

According to Diehl Metall, the fire was limited to just one hall. Thanks to the fire department, the fire did not spread. According to the information, everyone was able to leave the place on their own. Officially, a technical defect started the fire. The company's managing director, Thomas Hör, told the "RBB 24 Abendschau" on Thursday. Experts from fire insurance companies came to this conclusion, it was said. The managing director assumes damage in the double-digit millions.

According to Diehl, there is no arms production at the Lichterfelde site
The Diehl Group is an arms company that also supplies weapons to Ukraine. This sparked speculation in the media and social networks immediately after the fire. The company spokesman, however, explained that no military equipment was produced at the Berlin plant. According to the spokesman, the plant in Lichterfelde is a galvanic plant that produces, among other things, car parts. According to RBB, the company Diehl Metal Applications refines small metal parts for electronic components that are mainly used in the car industry. This speaks against the theory of a Russian attack in Berlin.

According to a report, a technical defect caused a major fire in a metal technology company in Berlin-Lichterfelde. Experts from fire insurance companies came to this conclusion, a company spokesman said on Friday. The company has not yet found any evidence of sabotage. "In theory, sabotage could lead to a technical defect," said the Diehl spokesman.

According to a recent report in the "Bild" newspaper, the federal government is investigating the suspicion that the Russian state could be behind the fire. A foreign intelligence service informed German secret services that there was concrete evidence of Russian involvement, the paper writes. The federal government did not want to comment on this on Friday.

The Diehl Group is a large arms company that also supplies weapons to Ukraine. This sparked speculation in the media and social networks seven weeks ago. According to the company, however, no arms were produced in the Berlin plant.

It is day 849 of the Ukraine war. The fighting continues unabated, although Europe is currently more concerned with the European Football Championship. It has now been revealed that Ukraine, after the controversial approval to use German weapons against targets in the Russian heartland, is now actively doing so. Björn Stritzel accompanies a Ukrainian crew of a Panzerhaubitze 2000, which is in action not far from the Russian border.

my Omi hailed from near Kyiv.
She was thirteen when her family fled the Revolution. They were a bit too кулак to fare well under the new regime … and ended up in Czernowitz back when the Bukovina spoke German.
Now ironically it is in Ukraine as Chernivtsi.

I’ll take that as a yes.
AfD is enthusiastically neoliberal.
Neoliberalism is by its nature antithetical to democracy.

I posted an eye-opening article in another thread just now. I invite you to read and consider its warning.
 
UKRAINE IN FLAMES: Zelensky sounds the alarm! - 2400 guided missiles - Where is the help from the West?
In Ukraine, Russian forces have deployed more than 2400 guided missiles in the past three weeks alone, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 700 of these missiles have been aimed at Kharkiv so far this month alone.
Just yesterday, another Russian attack on the city claimed three lives and injured 25 others. In a speech, Zelensky again called on the allies to quickly deliver further military aid to support Ukraine in its fight.

PUTIN'S WAR: USA allows Ukraine to launch deeper attacks on Russian heartland with Western weapons
Initiatives in the Ukraine war are gaining importance. According to the Washington Post, the USA is extending the permission for Ukrainian attacks with US weapons on Russian heartland. Initially, the use was only permitted in the Kharkiv area, but now the Ukrainians are also allowed to attack other areas such as Rostov and Kursk. However, the restriction of only striking up to 100 kilometers deep remains. This restriction is met with criticism because important Russian air force bases are located further inland and remain undisturbed.

world war 3 incoming! but is all putins debt!
