EU summons Russian envoys, eyes sanctions after Germany drone ‘attack’
Two Russian suspects have been linked to an incident involving an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig airport.
EU leaders summoned Russian diplomats and debated potential sanctions in response to a drone incident in Germany. The European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, stated that the attack bore the characteristics of state-sponsored terrorism. The EU foreign ministers agreed to continue working on a proposal to impose sanctions on 1,600 individuals and entities connected to Russia's military industry.
Germany blamed Russia for the incident and closed a Russian consulate in Berlin. Two suspects, a Belarusian national and a Latvian-Russian dual citizen, were reportedly identified as involved in the attack. The EU chief emphasized that such acts have become the "new normal" in Europe as Russia escalates destabilizing activities.
