German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul believes Russia is ready for even greater escalation, as Berlin plans to increase defense spending due to the rising number of Russian hybrid attacks against NATO. During a visit to Hungary, Wadephul expressed concern that Moscow's actions are undermining the foundations of peace in Europe and threatening the continent's security. He highlighted the recent drone incident at Leipzig airport as a stark reminder of the threat from Russia.
Wadephul emphasized that the conflict in Ukraine and the broader threat to Europe's freedom are fundamentally important issues. He stressed that border changes in Europe should never be achieved through force, and that the current war strikes at the very core of European peace. The minister cited the recent drone strikes just meters from the Polish border as evidence of Russia's readiness for escalation.
Wadephul also praised Hungary's solidarity following the attempted terrorist attack at Leipzig airport, noting that Budapest's decision to expel ten Russian diplomats sent a clear message about the need for non-interference. He stated that Germany intends to take on greater responsibility for its own security and Europe's security, ensuring that commitments to assist Ukraine are fulfilled.
