Reports Tie German NGO Leader to Suspected FSB Intermediary and Expanded Support for Donbass Fighters

Federal prosecutors are scrutinizing Liane Kilinc after records depict coordination with a Russian contact.

Overview

  • - A WDR/NDR/SZ/Monitor investigation published messages showing sustained exchanges between Kilinc and Sergej K., whom Western services link to the FSB, including informant-style reporting and equipment requests.
  • - A Russian memo advocating her naturalization credits Kilinc with more than €2 million in cash aid and up to €4 million in goods for front-line units since 2022, far exceeding earlier German estimates.
  • - Posts and internal lists indicate deliveries of militarily usable items such as drone components, counter-drone gear, radios, camouflage and generators to forces in the Donbass.
  • - Communications reviewed by reporters suggest she relayed details from Germany about military convoys and the location of regular Bundeswehr meetings with NATO representatives.
  • - Despite the probe, Friedensbrücke continues soliciting donations in Germany, with an undercover account describing transfers via post and through the United Arab Emirates, as Kilinc remains in Russia after receiving citizenship by presidential decree and arrest warrants stay in force.
