European response to Russian hybrid attack in Germany

Overview

Following a drone carrying an explosive mechanism discovered at Leipzig/Halle airport near Ukrainian cargo aircraft, German officials accused Russia of a hybrid attack. In response, Germany announced plans to close the Russian consulate in Bonn and terminate the contract for the Russian House in Berlin.

International reactions have emerged regarding the incident. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed full solidarity with Germany, stating that attempts to intimidate democratic nations will not succeed.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev also expressed support for Germany but urged caution. Radev raised concerns about potential escalation, questioning if providing long-range weapons to Ukraine would be a ‘reckless action’. He further noted that Bulgarian institutions had not yet received specific intelligence data regarding direct Russian responsibility for the Leipzig incident.
