Security services say spate of fires and infrastructure attacks could be part of systemic attempt by Russia to destabilise continent


Security services around Europe are on alert to a potential new weapon of Russia’s war – arson and sabotage – after a spate of mystery fires and attacks on infrastructure in the Baltics, Germany and the UK.

When a fire broke out in Ikea in Vilnius in Lithuania this month, few passed any remarks until the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, suggested it could have been the work of a foreign saboteur.

    Wow, I definitely didn’t expect that “Factual Reporting” would be “Mixed”, however going through the list, it shows several instances where they misunderstood either a scientific paper or misrepresented some fact.
    That said, I had before in some cases seen articles about AI being either false, misunderstanding the facts, or just parroting some CEO. I attributed it to AI being something relatively “new” to mainstream media, but this is pretty much eye opening.

    I like their “long read” articles though, but I guess it’s time to find a new main everyday paper for me…

      Uh, other journalists have called it The Gruniard for years because it has so many mistakes 😂

        That name comes from typesetting errors rather than factual mistakes (and is also a holdover from the pre-computer era when spell checking wasnt a thing)
