Berlin blames Moscow: one answer and many open questions

The article discusses Germany's response to a drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, which the federal government attributes to Russian intelligence services. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced measures including closing the Russian embassy in Berlin and the consulate in Bonn, as well as summoning the Russian ambassador. Security politician Roderich Kiesewetter argues these measures are insufficient and calls for a comprehensive approach to hybrid threats, including cyberattacks and sabotage. He emphasizes the need for stricter oversight of Russia’s 'shadow fleet' and more pressure on Moscow. The incident is seen as part of a broader pattern of Russian provocations aimed at intimidating the West and reducing support for Ukraine. Baltic countries like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania report similar attacks and express solidarity with Germany.
