Earlier in May, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Germany still hasn’t presented any evidence that Russia was involved in the 2015 hacking of emails from computers in the Bundestag.
Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev was summoned on Thursday to the German Foreign Office over the 2015 hacking attack on the country’s parliament, the Bundestag, the ministry said.
“The Russian ambassador was told that the federal government in Brussels will apply the European Union’s cybersanctions regime against people responsible for the attack on Germany’s Bundestag, including Badin,” the Foreign Office added.
The German Foreign Office stressed it had evidence that Badin was an officer of the Main Directorate of the Russian armed forces’ General Staff, known by abbreviation GRU.
Earlier in May, German prosecution issued an arrest warrant for a Russian suspect, allegedly involved in the 2015 hacking of emails from computers in the Bundestag. German media said he was a military intelligence officer, named Dmitry Badin. Russia has repeatedly denied claims of being behind hacking attacks.
