United Nations: Wadephul accuses Moscow of dangerous escalation in Europe
The German Foreign Minister is speaking in the UN Security Council about Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. According to him, Russia's hybrid attacks have reached a new level.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of escalating aggression against Europe through hybrid attacks. At a UN Security Council meeting in New York, Wadephul cited a drone incident at Halle/Leipzig airport in early August, which targeted Ukrainian cargo planes, as evidence of Russia's increasing aggression.
He claimed Russia attempted to blow up the planes with an explosive-laden drone and stated that this was not an isolated incident. Wadephul also alleged that Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine has worsened global hunger and poverty, as Ukrainian grain exports are blocked due to attacks on Ukrainian ports. He called for an immediate and complete ceasefire, prisoner exchange, and negotiations based on international law to achieve a lasting peace.
