> Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev said Berlin has presented no material evidence that Russia was involved in last month’s drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Germany formally blamed Russia on Tuesday and announced measures including closing the Russian Consulate General in Bonn and ending the Russian House’s activities in Berlin. The embassy called the incident a hastily fabricated provocation.
