Ukraine: After open threats from Lavrov: Strack-Zimmermann criticizes restraint against Russia
Drones in airspace, explosions in ammunition factories, foiled attacks: evidence of Russian sabotage is mounting. Politicians from the FDP and SPD are calling for a more determined response.
German politicians are calling for a stronger response to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's threats against Western supporters of Ukraine. Lavrov warned that Russia would take action against those supporting Ukraine, fueling concerns of a growing Russian sabotage campaign in Europe. Several incidents have occurred recently, including a foiled assassination attempt on a German arms manufacturer, a drone with explosives discovered at Leipzig/Halle airport, and explosions at a Bulgarian munitions factory and an Italian arms plant.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has warned of a growing threat and announced plans to expand sanctions against Russia in the autumn.
