Von der Leyen accuses Russia of attempted military attack on the EU and rejects intimidation

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 15:41

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, today accused Russia of attempting an attack using military material against the German airport of Leipzig. This accusation comes as part of a broader statement about the current geopolitical situation.

Von der Leyen firmly rejected any attempt at intimidation by Russia, demonstrating a firm position from the European Union regarding the incident. The European leader classified the attack as a new escalation in the context of tensions between Russia and the European bloc.

The airport of Leipzig, which serves as an important logistics hub, was thus the target of what Von der Leyen described as military aggression. This incident represents a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Western nations.
