> Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said European leaders sponsor what he called terrorism by the Kiev regime, amid allegations that Moscow was involved in an attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport. He called Berlin’s accusation unproven and accused Germany’s leadership of pursuing a fiercely Russophobic course. Medvedev also said Ukraine’s threats against Russian civil aviation amounted to a move toward state terrorism backed by Europe.
