WorldEU and Nato vow to step up pressure on Russia after 'new escalation' in Germany

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said Russia was becoming increasingly reckless in attacks on Europe and pledged a faster, stronger response. Germany has blamed Moscow for a failed drone attack at Leipzig airport, while Russia denies the accusation. Berlin plans to close the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russian House cultural institution, prompting Moscow to threaten a mirror-image response.
