Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Denmark's counter-intelligence agency, PET, has warned that Russian security services are actively planning and carrying out sabotage actions against the Danish defense industry. PET chief Emil Græsholm stated that the threats are concrete enough to warrant public disclosure, specifically targeting companies involved in providing military aid to Ukraine. According to Græsholm, Russian intelligence has attempted to recruit average Danish citizens to perform tasks such as assessing the security conditions of factories. PET has briefed affected companies and urged them to increase security measures. This warning follows a May 2024 alert from PET regarding increased risks of physical sabotage across Denmark and Europe. The situation occurs amid broader concerns over Russian hybrid operations, including a reported drone attack attempt at Leipzig Airport in Germany in August.
