So today's the yearly presentation of the new budget, with protests expected in several places. Whether this sabotage campaign is (part of a) misguided protest action or something else is yet to be determined. https://nos.nl/liveblog/2631038-nog-steeds-nieuwe-sabotageacties-op-het-spoor-hooibalen-in-brand-langs-snelwegen https://nos.nl/liveblog/2631038-nog-steeds-nieuwe-sabotageac...

  "Radical Farmer Leaders" are mentioned as stimulating these actions today.

That does mean that I would not automatically jump to conclusions about Russia or war or whatever; since much of national public policy is presented today, it's also a popular day to express disagreement, and apparently some farmers had already announced they would be doing so today. (I'd assume the BBC reporter to be aware that Prinsjesdag is today, and that they'd mention that fact in this article, but apparently not.)

  You'll find the answer in who is organizing these groups.

    Egging them on online, sure, but these groups have always existed and we're plenty stupid without Russia's help.
