Well, with the USA now distancing itself from NATO, and aligning itself with Russia more closely than at any historical moment after WWII — even sabre rattling about expansionist conquests of its own and abandoning preservation of the international order — Germany finds itself bereft of a powerful ally and with a greatly degraded deterrent against Russian aggression. It is the right moment for Russia to advance.

It's not like sabotaging German ships will cause Germany to increase military spending or fix the Bundeswehr's comically bad procurement process so there is little risk for Russia in these actions.
