German Chancellor Friedrich Merz described an “unprecedented rupture” in relations as Germany confronts last month’s attempted drone attack on a German airport. The Chancellor noted that the full implications of the incident are expected to become clearer in hindsight.
Speaking at a party event near Hanover, Merz stated that the German government’s attribution of the attack to Russia was “clear and legally substantiated,” sending an unambiguous warning to Moscow to cease this form of hybrid warfare.
