"We are fully aware that the reasons behind that (hybrid attacks on Europe, including explosions at DHL facilities – ed.) is that from a Russian perspective, Europe, including Germany, is not on peace terms with Russia," Freuding said.

In the opinion of the Russian side, he noted, the old rules of international law “are no longer valid”.
