TWO alleged spies have been arrested in Germany, one of them accused of agreeing to attack US military facilities and other targets in a bid to sabotage aid for Ukraine, federal prosecutors said today.

The two men, described as dual German-Russian nationals and identified only as Dieter S and Alexander J, were arrested on Wednesday in the Bavarian city of Bayreuth.

Since October, Dieter S is alleged to have been discussing possible acts of sabotage in Germany with a person linked to Russian intelligence, with the main aim being to undermine military support for Ukraine.
