Leipzig drones may spark hybrid conflict

The diplomatic crisis between Germany and Russia is escalating following the drone incident at Leipzig Airport, where Germany directly accused Russia of being behind the attack that led to the discovery of an explosive device on a Ukrainian cargo plane. Moscow responded by announcing retaliatory measures, including the closure of branches of the German Cultural Institute (Goethe Institute) and the Russian Cultural Archive. Russia also considered the German sanctions a grave mistake. Additionally, two Russians have been identified as suspects in the attempted attack—one holding a Latvian passport and the other Belarusian—and are believed to be linked to Russian intelligence. As a result, relations between the two countries are experiencing severe tensions, with warnings of a possible escalation. European coordination is underway to strengthen measures and sanctions against Russia, including restrictions on Russian visas and broader retaliatory threats, in response to what Europe perceives as an attempt to destabilize it through hybrid attacks.
