Russia's spies seek Western technology as sanctions bite

Russian intelligence agencies have grown more aggressive in their efforts to steal Western technology and defense secrets as sanctions squeeze the country’s wartime economy. That's according to three senior European intelligence officials who spoke to The Associated Press. They say Moscow’s agents are building fake companies, recruiting middlemen and deploying cyber spies and hackers who are gathering information that could also be used to attack key infrastructure. Four years of international sanctions have hampered Moscow’s ability to procure machinery, technology and research from Europe. The grinding war in Ukraine has meanwhile taxed key industries and pushed Russia toward a possible financial crisis.
