"We have to scale proportionally and without showing weakness". Leipzig was "the wake-up call" for Europe

CNN Portugal2 September 2026 at 22:50

The article addresses the tension between the European Union and Russia in the context of the conflict in Ukraine. An unidentified source states that Europe needs to scale up its response proportionally and without showing weakness in the face of Russian actions.

The incident in Leipzig is described as "the wake-up call" for Europe, serving as a moment of alert for the need for a more coordinated and firm response from European countries.

The analysis presented suggests that Putin is deliberately testing Western resolve, seeking to assess to what extent Europe is willing to maintain its support for Ukraine. The European Union intends to respond with diplomatic sanctions, although the article raises doubts about the sufficient efficacy of this measure to deter Russian pressure.
