> Russia has described the drone incident at Leipzig airport as a provocation put together in haste. A statement said Germany’s main threat today was not the so-called “hybrid attacks” attributed to Moscow. It maintained that such attacks do not exist. Instead, the statement pointed to politicians who enthusiastically devise scenarios of an imminent war with Russia.
