Dieter S gathered information on potential targets, prosecutors added.<\/p>\n

He was alleged to have been helped by his co-defendant from March at the latest.<\/p>\n

Dieter S scouted some of the sites, taking photos and videos of military goods and passing information to his intelligence contact.<\/p>\n

A judge ordered that Dieter S should be kept in custody pending a possible indictment.<\/p>\n

Alexander J is due to make a closed-doors court appearance today.<\/p>\n

Dieter S also faces separate accusations of being part of an armed unit of pro-Russian separatist forces in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, from 2014 to 2016.<\/p>\n

Germany has become the second-biggest supplier of weapons to Ukraine, after the US, since Russia ignited its full-scale invasion over two years ago.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
