Russia Rejects German Drone Attack Claims, Lavrov Says Berlin 'Wants War'

Russia's foreign minister said Germany "wants war again" in an interview published Sunday, rejecting Berlin's accusation that Moscow was behind a drone attack on Leipzig airport. He drew parallels to the period before World War II. Germany blamed Russia for an attempted "hybrid attack" using an explosive-laden drone at the eastern German airport, allegedly sent via "low-level agents." This week, Moscow and Berlin closed each other's cultural centres, and EU countries summoned Russian envoys in response. Lavrov accused Germany of Nazism and said Russia would draw conclusions, speaking as the Ukraine conflict nears its fifth year. His comments also come ahead of Russia's parliamentary elections later this month.
