Germany Calls Out Russia for Drone Attack — But Can’t Fight Alone

Berlin has officially blamed Moscow for a foiled drone attack at Leipzig Airport in early August. The device was packed with explosives. German officials called it an act of war. But Germany’s response so far has been limited. And Berlin insists it should not have to carry this burden alone. The accusation marks a first step toward a stronger European stance against Russia. Yet without broader support from other EU and NATO members, experts say, deterrence will remain weak. Germany is now pushing for a united European strategy. The question is whether its allies are ready to treat the incident as a shared threat—not just a German problem.
