Gabriel: Measures won't impress Putin +++ Macron calls for new EU sanctions +++ Zelensky warns against flights over Russia +++ The news blog.
Former German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel has expressed hope that NATO unity will impress Russian President Vladimir Putin. Gabriel stated that NATO can demonstrate unity by taking action against Russian drone overflights, such as intercepting them. He also warned of further escalation with Putin, citing Russia's capability to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Russian Ambassador Sergej Netschajew has dismissed Germany's accusations of Russian involvement in a drone incident at Halle/Leipzig airport as "absurd". Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul have announced potential punitive measures, including closing the Russian consulate in Bonn and terminating the lease for the Russian House in Berlin.
