Politico: Germania se pregătește să acuze Rusia pentru incidentul cu dronă de la Leipzig. Merz va anunța sancțiuni „ample”, în timp ce tensiunile cu Moscova cresc

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set to blame Russia for a drone attack attempt in Leipzig and announce significant sanctions. The German government plans direct measures against Russian entities, coinciding with a new EU sanctions package. The announcement is expected early next week, amid rising tensions with Russia following various incidents in Europe. Merz's decision comes before key regional elections, with the far-right party AfD gaining support. Recent investigations suggest a direct link between Russia and the thwarted drone attack targeting a Ukrainian cargo plane. The situation reflects a shift in Germany's defense policy, influenced by recent security incidents.
