Embassy in Belgium Embassy ● Roster captured

The Brussels Times reported on April 26th that “espionage and foreign interference have reached levels not seen since the Cold War, shows the first public annual report by Belgium’s General Intelligence and Security Service (ADIV). The military intelligence service opens its annual report by noting that the world is changing rapidly and that the instability is increasing espionage and foreign interference. Belgium is a particularly popular target as Brussels is home to many international institutions — earlier this month, it was found that the Russian embassy in Brussels has the most ‘spy antennas’ in Europe. “The calm we have known since the end of the Cold War is over. This has been the case since the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014. Since then, the security situation has only become more worrying,” ADIV chief Wim Robberecht explained on Flemish radio on Wednesday. Russian services focused on the Ukrainian conflict last year but ADIV predicts that spying in cyberspace will increase. Pro-Russian hacktivists are increasingly carrying out cyber attacks against countries that Russia deems threatening.”
