Portugal summoned the Russian ambassador to demand explanations following the drone attack at Leipzig airport in Germany. This measure comes in the context of a coordinated European response to acts of Russian interference.
The German government held Russia responsible on Tuesday for the attempted drone attack on Leipzig airport, which occurred in August. The investigation conducted by German authorities pointed to the responsibility of Russian intelligence services in this incident.
This is not an isolated situation, fitting into a broader pattern of Russian intelligence activities in Europe. Portugal thus joined other European countries in the diplomatic response to these actions.
The summoning of the Russian ambassador by Portugal demonstrates the unified position of the European Union in condemning sabotage operations attributed to Russia on European soil.
