Berlin is losing patience: Merz is targeting Moscow after the Leipzig incident

Germany is reportedly considering new sanctions against Russia following a recent attack in Leipzig involving a drone equipped with explosives aimed at an Antonov cargo plane used by Ukraine for transporting military equipment. While the German government has not officially confirmed Russian involvement, intelligence assessments suggest a direct link, which Moscow denies. The potential measures could mark a significant shift in Germany’s relations with Russia, reminiscent of the 'Zeitenwende' policy change initiated after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Additional security incidents across Europe, including hidden weapons caches and suspected sabotage attempts, have further strained relations. The European Union is also preparing a new package of sanctions against Russia, expected to be discussed during an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Ireland.
