Chancellor Merz:
"Some people say, 'Then finally stop supporting Ukraine, and perhaps weβll be better protected from threats like the one at Leipzig Airport.'
What naivety! What naivety!"
βοΈGermany officially placed tbe blame on Russia for the attempted hybrid attack at Leipzig airport.
"The attack involved tools such as the drone configuration, various components, explosives, and cyber technology that we recognize from other Russian hybrid operations and its war against Ukraine. The German government has therefore concluded that Russia is responsible for the hybrid attack in Leipzig on August 4." - Alexander Dobrindt, Internal Affairs Minister said.
Foreign Minister Wadephul announced that the Russian consulate in Bonn will be closed.
