With exclusive map and reporting, AP exposes how Russian sabotage is exhausting European police resources

By Emma Burrows

More than a year of in-depth reporting across multiple countries by Emma Burrows led to a multi-story, multimedia project centered around an exclusive map tracking suspected Russian sabotage efforts.

Burrows has been following a growing list of arson attacks, cyberattacks and disruptive street actions across Europe since 2023. The most recent installment revealed that incidents with proven links to Russia have risen to more than 145 — and are straining police and prosecutorial resources in multiple countries.
