> German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said the Foreign Ministry summoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Nechaev over last month’s drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport. He blamed Russia for a “hybrid attack in Leipzig” and announced tighter entry controls for Russian nationals, more pressure on the so-called shadow fleet, and continued humanitarian and military aid for Kyiv. Russia’s embassy called the incident a hastily fabricated provocation.
