Germany is preparing a response to Russia after an alleged hybrid drone attack against the country. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government is said to have discussed various retaliation measures against Moscow in recent days.
The measures under discussion include possible diplomatic actions and other forms of pressure on Russia. The German government has not publicly specified what concrete options are on the table.
This episode comes amid growing tensions between Germany and Russia. German authorities point to a pattern of hostile activities by Moscow that have been increasing in recent months.
Friedrich Merz, who holds the position of chancellor, has taken a firmer stance toward Russia since the beginning of his term. His government appears determined to respond forcefully to the alleged attack.
