Europeans sanction Russia over alleged "sabotage and espionage" attacks

France's foreign minister said Monday that Russia's ambassador in Paris would be summoned over "a vast cyber campaign" across Europe.

"We will also impose sanctions on nine individuals and four entities responsible for this cyber campaign, which was orchestrated by the FSB," Russia's primary national intelligence and security service, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, said in an interview with BFMTV/RMC.

He made the announcement as the European Union and United Kingdom announced similar sanctions.

The Russian attacks, which allegedly targeted companies, government ministries and service operators, were attempts at "sabotage and espionage in a dozen European countries," Barrot said.

I think at the end of the day, its insecurity, greed and power which feeds controlling behavior and grand visions of world domination.

I'm oversimplifying, I know. Just my two cents.
