Russian spy ship caught in the North Sea: do Russians have plans to sabotage Belgian energy infrastructure?

In November, a Russian research vessel attempted to map the Belgian energy infrastructure in the North Sea with a view to its sabotage. This is confirmed by the Belgian intelligence services and Minister of Justice and the North Sea Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open Vld). The intelligence services suspect that the ship was mainly interested in the Belgian wind farms off the coast.
