Ukraine-Krieg: Putin wirft Deutschland Beweisfälschung vor
Gabriel: Maßnahmen werden Putin nicht beeindrucken +++ Macron spricht sich für neue EU-Sanktionen aus +++ Selenskyj warnt vor Flügen über Russland +++ Der Newsblog.
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Germany's accusation of falsified evidence following the discovery of a bomb-laden drone at Leipzig/Halle Airport, saying the allegations lacked merit and were against common sense. He urged for unity within NATO and Europe, stating that NATO should not tolerate drone flights over its member countries without interception.
Gabriel, a NATO official, warned of potential escalation by saying Russia might use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine if provoked. The US might also signal their disapproval to Putin to deter such actions. Russian ambassador Sergey Neyshiyev labeled Germany's accusations as "absurd" and accused Berlin of failing to provide evidence.
Meanwhile, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul had blamed Russia for the drone incident, threatening to close the Russian consulate in Bonn and terminate the Russian House's lease in Berlin.
