In August there is a plan for an attack at Leipzig airport. A drone with a bomb is at a plane. The German government says: Russia plans this attack. Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Minister Johann Wadephul tell this in Berlin. They have proof. The drone uses the same tech as weapons in war.
Germany punishes Russia. The Russian office in Bonn must close. Germany checks Russian travelers with more care. The government names this hybrid war. This means: Russia does not use soldiers. Russia uses tricks and damage.
The EU and Nato help Germany. Russia denies the plan. Speaker Maria Sacharowa says: Russia answers the rules. President Wladimir Putin calls the rules a mistake. Experts think: Russia wants fear. Germany stops Russian ships too.
