		</div><p>Russia is trying to destabilise German society and the state with propaganda campaigns and cyber attacks, Germany&#8217;s domestic intelligence agency said.</p>
<p>The blunt warning from Germany&#8217;s BfV agency comes less than a year before the country is expected to hold a general election.</p>
<p>Agency chief Hans-Georg Maassen said in a statement that &#8220;there is growing evidence for attempts to influence the federal election next year&#8221;.</p>
<p>His agency has seen an increase in &#8220;aggressive cyber-espionage&#8221; targeting German politicians.</p>
<p>Russia has been blamed for the hacking and release of Democratic National Committee emails before the US presidential election.</p>
<p>Mr Maassen said &#8220;automated opinion forming&#8221; with so-called bots could be used to spread fake news on social media.</p>
<p>Russia has previously strongly denied its involvement in orchestrating cyber attacks on foreign soil.</p>
