Germany Asks EU to Sanction Russia Over Cyberattack

Germany asked the European Union to impose sanctions on Russia for a 2015 cyberattack on Germany’s parliament, Germany’s Federal Foreign Office said May 28, according to an unofficial translation. Germany said it will ask the EU to invoke its “cyber sanctions regime … with respect to those responsible for the attack,” including Russian national Dmitri Badin. Germany issued an arrest warrant for Badin after alleging he worked with others to “carry out intelligence activities” against the country. Germany added that it is considering “further measures.”
