Germany identified two suspects in an August hybrid attack on Leipzig/Halle airport, in which an explosive drone was allegedly used against a Ukrainian cargo aircraft. According to released information, it involves a Russian and a Belarusian, with investigators finding DNA traces. STVR (Spravy) ↗
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated on Tuesday that, according to findings of the German government, Russia is responsible for the thwarted attack. Berlin summoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Nechayev in this connection and announced retaliatory measures. Germany will close the Russian Consulate General in Bonn and the Russian cultural center in Berlin. Moscow rejects the accusations as unfounded and has signaled a response to German decisions. svet.sme.sk ↗
The European Union also responded to the incident, summoning the Russian diplomat in Brussels. Head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas announced this step in connection with the attempt of a hybrid attack on German territory. Slovakia expressed solidarity with Germany, with President Peter Pellegrini calling the incident unacceptable. interez.sk ↗
Tensions were also raised by statements from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who threatened direct attacks on Berlin and German arms manufacturers producing equipment for Ukraine. The case thus further deepens the dispute between Berlin and Moscow and may lead to further diplomatic and security measures. aktuality.sk ↗
