EU holds talks on response to Leipzig drone attack after Germany formally blames Moscow for incident – Europe live
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas is leading discussions on a unified response to a recent drone attack at Leipzig airport, which Germany has formally attributed to Russia. The incident is being framed as a potential act of state-sponsored terrorism, prompting calls for increased sanctions.
Why it matters
This incident marks a significant escalation in tensions between the EU and Russia, potentially leading to new, more aggressive diplomatic and economic sanctions.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Russia’s attempted drone attack at Leipzig airport last month “had all the hallmarks of state sponsored terrorism,” as she prepares to lead talks on the bloc’s political reaction.
Kallas will host today’s informal talks between EU foreign ministers in Wicklow, Ireland, focusing on “what more we can do” after Germany formally blamed Russia for last month’s security incident.
