이 기사는 러시아의 첩보 활동이 국제 제재로 인해 더욱 치열해지고 있음을 보여주며, 투자자에게 러시아의 기술 강탈 시도가 글로벌 보안과 경제에 미칠 영향을 고려하게 합니다. 특히, 고급 기술과 방위비밀의 탈취가 러시아의 경제적 위기를 완화하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다는 점이 핵심입니다.

본문 1: 국제 제재의 영향

4년간의 국제 제재는 러시아의 기술 조달 능력을 크게 약화시켰습니다. 스웨덴의 보안국 차장은 러시아가 고급 기계 도구와 공장 장비, 연구, 이중용도 기술 등을 필요로 하고 있다고 밝혔습니다. 이는 러시아가 전쟁 중인 우크라이나의 경제적 압박을 완화하기 위해 기술 강탈을 시도하고 있음을 보여줍니다. 이러한 기술 강탈 시도가 성공할 경우, 러시아의 경제적 위기를 완화하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있습니다.

본문 2: 기술 강탈의 전략

러시아는 가짜 회사 설립, 중개인 모집, 사이버 스파이 및 해커 배치 등을 통해 기술 강탈에 나서고 있습니다. 스웨덴의 그리펜 전투기 기술과 카메라, 레이저 기술을 노리는 것은 러시아의 군사적 우위를 강화하기 위한 시도입니다. 핀란드의 보안국장은 러시아가 우주 기술, 양자 기술, 극지방 기술, 해양 기술을 필요로 한다고 강조했습니다. 이는 러시아가 장기적인 기술적 우위를 확보하기 위해 다양한 분야의 기술을 탈취하려 하고 있음을 보여줍니다.

본문 3: 글로벌 보안의 위협

러시아의 기술 강탈 시도는 글로벌 보안에 큰 위협을 줄 수 있습니다. 특히, 고급 기술과 방위비밀의 탈취가 러시아의 군사적 능력을 강화할 수 있다는 점이 우려됩니다. 또한, 러시아의 기술 강탈 시도가 성공할 경우, 다른 국가들도 기술 강탈에 나서게 될 가능성이 있습니다. 이는 글로벌 보안 환경에 큰 변화를 가져올 수 있습니다.

결론

이 기사는 러시아의 첩보 활동이 국제 제재로 인해 더욱 치열해지고 있음을 보여주며, 투자자에게 러시아의 기술 강탈 시도가 글로벌 보안과 경제에 미칠 영향을 고려하게 합니다. 특히, 고급 기술과 방위비밀의 탈취가 러시아의 경제적 위기를 완화하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다는 점이 핵심입니다. 향후 러시아의 기술 강탈 시도가 어떻게 전개될지 주의 깊게 지켜볼 필요가 있습니다.

Russian spies are aggressively seeking Western technology as sanctions bite, officials say - WTOP

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Russia’s intelligence agencies have grown more aggressive in their efforts to steal Western technology and defense secrets as sanctions squeeze the country’s wartime economy , three senior European intelligence officials told The Associated Press.

Moscow’s agents are building fake companies, recruiting middlemen and deploying cyber spies and hackers who are gathering information that could also be used to attack key infrastructure, they said.

Four years of international sanctions have hampered Moscow’s ability to procure machinery, technology and research from Europe, while the grinding war in Ukraine has taxed key industries and pushed the country toward a potential financial crisis .

“They really know what they need,” and are putting “serious effort” into acquiring advanced machine tools, factory equipment, research and dual-use technology, said Christoffer Wedelin, deputy head of operations at the Swedish Security Service.

Russia seeks high-end research, defense technology and software

In Sweden, Russia is targeting the defense industry and high-end research on the country’s most advanced weaponry, such as the Gripen fighter jet, Wedelin said. It is also trying to procure camera and laser technology developed for civilian purposes that could be integrated into Russian weapons systems, he said.

Moscow is also trying to steal technology to help it keep pace — or give it an edge — against the West in the decades ahead, said Juha Martelius, the director of Finland’s Security and Intelligence Service.

“We’re talking about space technology, quantum … arctic technology, marine technology,” he said, adding that space technology is something Russia needs “right now,” without elaborating. Countries use such technology for satellite imaging, communications and navigation.

Russia also needs sanctioned computer technology and software updates for machine tools, Martelius said.

On Wednesday, Anne Keast-Butler, the director of the U.K’s signals intelligence agency, accused Russia of “relentlessly targeting” the U.K. and its European allies, by stealing technology and plotting sabotage and assassination attempts .

In May, Swedish police arrested two people on suspicion of violating sanctions relating to a company in Turkey that has made dozens of shipments of metalworking and metal-turning machine tools to Russia.

As the schemes to acquire technology grow more complex, companies need to be more aware they could unwittingly become part of Russia’s war supply chain, Wedelin said.

“All of the security and intelligence services in Russia are helping out on the state’s efforts to get this,” he said.

Intelligence officials say Russia cares less about getting caught

Moscow is also deploying cyberattacks against European firms and critical infrastructure in an attempt to gather information, which it could exploit “when they get the chance and when it serves their purpose,” Wedelin said. He pointed to an attack on a Swedish power plant last year.

Russia-linked actors tried to “destroy” the plant but failed because the system detected the intrusion, Wedelin said. He said the attack was partly aimed at undermining Western support for Ukraine.

Before then, Sweden’s security services had mostly observed reconnaissance for potential attacks, intelligence gathering or activity linked to cybercriminals. The attack marked a “switch” in Russia’s modus operandi, Wedelin said.

“They’re no longer caring as much about potential attribution after their activities, so they are taking greater risks to achieve their goals,” he said.

Problems are mounting for Russia’s economy

Russia’s increasingly aggressive tactics may reflect mounting internal concerns about its economy, which “is not doing well at all,” said Kaupo Rosin, the head of Estonia’s Foreign Intelligence Service.

About a third of Russia’s gross domestic product currently goes to the war effort, Martelius said. The war and ensuing sanctions have slowed growth and fueled stubborn inflation.

Russian officials planned to have a budget deficit of 3.7 trillion rubles ($52.1 billion) for the whole of 2026 and had already reached about 3.4 trillion rubles ($47.9 billion) by the end of February, Rosin said.

The Iran war that erupted on Feb. 28 has provided a boost by causing oil prices to soar. The U.S. has granted sanctions waivers for the sale of Russian oil and the U.K. watered down its sanctions in an attempt to lower global fuel costs.

Increased revenue since then has likely improved Russia’s budget, but “it doesn’t save them,” Rosin said, adding that if Western pressure persists, Moscow could face a financial crisis toward the end of the year.

Rosin said intelligence seen by his agency shows a gloomier outlook among Russian officials over the past six months, with the narrative of “total victory” in Ukraine having vanished. Keast-Butler, of British intelligence, said almost 500,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion in 2022.

Russia and Ukraine have mostly kept their combat casualty figures under wraps.

Stalled progress on the battlefield and economic woes have many Russian officials privately asking “what is this all for,” Rosin said, citing the intelligence reports.

Martelius, of Finland’s intelligence service, said that while some reports on the war in Ukraine may have been “sanitized” before reaching President Vladimir Putin’s desk, he believes the Russian leader has a fairly clear picture of the economic challenges.

But that does not mean there will be political change.

It is “very dangerous … to start analyzing Russia as if it is some country like ours,” Martelius said. “It is not.”
