Relations between the two European countries were already tense.

German’s top diplomat has said that Russia will face consequences after accusing its military intelligence service of masterminding an “absolutely intolerable” cyberattack.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Russian state hackers were behind a cyberattack last year that targeted the Social Democrats, the leading party in the governing coalition. “We can attribute this attack to the group called APT28, which is steered by the military intelligence service of Russia.”Ms Baerbock is visiting Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, with the trip focusing on security policy as China pushes for influence in the Pacific region.
