The European Union classified the failed attack at Leipzig airport in Germany as "state-sponsored terrorism" in reference to Russia. The chief of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, made this statement following the incident involving alleged Russian actions on German territory.
Kaja Kallas summoned the Russian representative in Brussels following this incident. Leipzig airport was the location where the attempted attack, now under investigation, occurred.
The classification as "state-sponsored terrorism" represents a significant escalation in how the EU and its member states view Russia's actions on the European continent. This incident occurs in a context of ongoing tensions between the European Union and Russia.
