Außenministertreffen in Irland: Nach Leipzig: Russland droht massives Sanktionspaket der EU
Zwischen Moskau und Berlin verschärfen sich wegen der Sprengstoff-Drohne in Leipzig die Spannungen. Die EU bereitet unterdessen neue Sanktionen vor.
In Wicklow, Russia faces a significant new sanctions package from the European Union following its failed attempt to use a drone armed with explosives at Leipzig/Halle Airport. EU Foreign Representative Kaja Kallas revealed during talks with foreign ministers in Ireland that preparations are already underway to target 1,600 additional individuals and companies linked to Russia's military-industrial complex with punitive measures.
Further sanctions may be added in the future. Kallas announced the sanctions package as early as August, before Germany publicly blamed Russia for the drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport on Tuesday. The goal is to further complicate Russia's war efforts against Ukraine. Kallas emphasized that all member states stand behind Germany's response to the incident. She noted that the events in Leipzig exhibit all characteristics of state-sponsored terrorism.
