The European Union and its allies promised to increase pressure on Russia following a drone attack attempt at Leipzig airport in Germany. This incident marks a new chapter in the deterioration of relations between the European bloc and Moscow.
The German government directly pointed the finger of blame at Moscow for the attack, but Russian President Vladimir Putin denied any involvement in the incident. The exchange of accusations worsens the already fragile diplomatic situation between the two sides.
European foreign ministers met to discuss the possibility of imposing new sanctions on Russia. These measures would come as a response to what several European leaders consider to be deliberate provocation and an escalation of hostilities on the continent.
The President of the European Commission publicly warned about what she described as an escalation of the war in Europe, emphasizing that the recent events represent a direct threat to the security of the community bloc and its member states.
