In case of Germany it was a screw up, sorry. The result would have been good if Putin had waited until the crime was confirmed. So he looked incompetend.
We have only a few million Russians in Germany, only a small part of them shows promising potential for such stunts, the ability of a economic powerhouse like Germany to fight back in an unsymmetric way is there and Merkel is not the forgiving type.
BTW: The attempts of Moscow to influence Russion emigrants in Germany is nothing new.
