“Considering the neo-Nazi, fiercely Russophobic course of the current German leadership, the fabricated sabotage is the mildest form of punishment for their sins. They deserve a direct strike on all German military equipment factories working for the banderovtsy clique. And quite likely – on some other places in Berlin as well,” D. Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.
Threatening European leaders traveling by train to Ukraine
Separately, he accused Western leaders supporting Ukraine, “primarily Europeans,” of allegedly financing “terrorism” and reminded that “they often travel to Kyiv by train,” leaving an ellipsis.
On the night of August 5, at Leipzig airport, from where weapons are supplied to the Ukrainian armed forces, a drone with explosives was found near the Ukrainian cargo plane An-124. The detonator did not work. On August 14, another drone, also malfunctioning, was found in a field near the airport, security sources reported to “Der Spiegel.”
Acted on behalf of Russia
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated on September 1 that the organizers and executors of these “hybrid attacks” acted on the orders of Russian state structures. According to him, this is confirmed by the investigation, the nature of the crime, and intelligence data.
In turn, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of escalating relations between the countries, and also announced that from September 18 the last Russian consulate general in Bonn and the Russian House in Berlin will be closed. In addition, he promised to tighten control over the arrival of Russian citizens.
V. Putin called Germany’s accusations against Russia allegedly unfounded and linked them to the authorities’ attempt to divert German attention from domestic problems.
“Obvious economic mistakes. Companies are closing. People are losing jobs, living standards are falling. It is unclear why all this is being done. It can only be explained by one thing: there is a need to ‘resist aggressive Russia.’ And where is the evidence? Well, here, they planted the evidence,” Putin said.
He also called Germany’s measures taken after the drone incident a “gross mistake.”
