Germany increases pressure on Russia after Leipzig drone event
The German government announced a new package of measures against Russia following Moscow's alleged attempt to carry out a drone attack near Leipzig/Halle Airport in August 2026. The measures include closing the Russian General Consulate in Bonn starting September 2026, canceling the "Russian House" agreement in Berlin, and tightening entry restrictions for Russian citizens into Germany. Germany will also advocate within the European Union for the adoption of new sanctions against Russian entities accused of hybrid operations. These security measures are part of efforts to enhance their capabilities to counter operations directed from Russia, with coordination of the response alongside NATO, as part of a broader campaign aimed at safeguarding Germany’s and Europe's security.
