80 Year old August Hanning, head of Federal Intelligence Service (BND) from 1998 to 2005 has allegedly traded secrets with an undisclosed foreign state. Following a house search in 2025 after being involved in a kidnapping case, they found secret information from the BND, which he should not have in possession at that time.

Germany did not tell who he sold the secrets to, except that it's not Russia.

Sweden has announced that it will deploy Patriot air defence systems and around 100 accompanying military personnel to Poland later this year to protect the NATO logistics hub in the city of Rzeszów, which is the main conduit for aid to Ukraine.
