German politician Wolfgang Kubicki, chair of the pro-business liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), has proposed sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine in response to a Russian drone attack in Leipzig airport. However, this proposal does not alter Germany's current policy, as the FDP has no seats in the Bundestag and Chancellor Friedrich Merz has ruled out supplying the missiles.
Kubicki's remarks aim to recast military aid to Ukraine as a potential cost for Russia if it continues hybrid attacks inside Germany. The incident, which occurred on August 4th, involved an explosives-laden drone that struck a Ukrainian Antonov An-124 heavy cargo aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport, though the attack did not detonate.
Germany formally blamed Russia for the attack and has taken retaliatory measures, including closing the Russian consulate in Bonn and terminating the agreement under which the Russian House cultural center operates in Berlin.
