Germany to grant intelligence services powers for "aggressive" operations against Russia

Faced with growing threats from Moscow and increasing doubts about reliance on US intelligence sharing, Berlin is planning to expand the powers of its intelligence services. The new rules would allow German spies to conduct so-called aggressive operations, enabling active counter-strikes against threats rather than purely defensive responses. The move marks a significant shift in Germany's traditionally cautious intelligence doctrine.
