Germany to hold Russia accountable for drone attack

Germany plans to hold Russia responsible for attempting to carry out a drone attack on an Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig/Halle Airport last August, and is preparing to impose new sanctions on Moscow in coordination with its allies. Airport workers found the drone and a detonator device, and the airport is considered a major freight hub in Europe, housing large Ukrainian aircraft. Despite comments from the German Foreign Ministry regarding possible measures, Russia has denied involvement in the incident, describing it as a "fabricated provocation," while Germany continues to negotiate with its allies over the sanctions.
