escalation' in Germany      (European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (R)and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte arrive for a press statement at EU headquarters on September 2, 2026)    Image source,  Reuters  Image caption,  Ursula von der Leyen and Mark Rutte accused Russia of becoming increasingly reckless in its attacks on Europe       By Paul Kirby Europe digital editor      Published 2 September 2026           The heads of Nato and the European Commission have warned that Russia is growing increasingly reckless and vowed to respond to a "new normal".  "Leipzig marks a new escalation on European Union soil directly attributed to Russia," said Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, a day after Germany blamed Russia for a failed drone attack last month on Leipzig airport. "We have to step up and that means being ready to respond to Russia's recklessness faster and better," von der Leyen said. Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said the whole alliance, which includes the US, stood "in full solidarity with Germany". Russia has rejected German accusations that a drone carrying explosives deliberately targeted a Ukrainian cargo plane on 4 August. The drone was defused by a robot at Leipzig/Halle airport and a second drone is thought to have collided with another cargo plane. A third drone was reportedly found 10 days later at the airport, which is an important Nato hub and is regularly used by Ukrainian Antonov transport aircraft. It was not until Tuesday that the German government said police investigations and intelligence finding had proved that Russia was behind the incidents.  The interior minister said that the drone's configuration, components, explosives and detonator were all known from other Russian hybrid operations. Two suspects have reportedly been identified in the Leipzig attack, including a Belarusian with a Russian passport who entered on a tourist visa, and another with Latvian and Russian passports who arrived by plane in Berlin and flew out two days before the failed attack.      (A television reporter films Russian House of Science and Culture shortly after German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced Germany's response to the failed drone attack at Leipzig airport September 01, 2026 in Berlin)    Image source,  Getty Images  Image caption,  The Russian House in Berlin is to close as part of Germany's response to the Leipzig incident       Berlin has said it will close the Russian consulate in Bonn as well as the Russian House cultural institution, widely suspected in Berlin of acting as a propaganda outlet for the Kremlin. The Russian foreign ministry promised to respond in "mirror-image" fashion and said Berlin had offered no evidence to back its claims. Germany's chargé d'affaires Bernd Finke was summoned to hear Moscow's rejection of Berlin's "entirely unfounded accusations". Vladimir Putin has condemned Germany's measures as a serious mistake that "clearly runs counter to the interests of the German people". Asked whether Moscow would be prepared to sever relations with Berlin, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko answered "maybe", but said for now it was giving diplomacy a chance. Critics in Germany suggested the German response was relatively weak, but Berlin has its eye on a more co-ordinated response with its allies, including extended EU sanctions and entry restrictions on Russian visitors across the bloc.     (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62j50n131mo) Rosenberg: Putin's veiled threat to UK part of Russia's campaign against West       Published 13 hours ago         (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ylm3m67n2o) Germany says Russia behind Leipzig airport drone attack       Published 23 hours ago         (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9v9yydy2wvo) Zelensky says airlines should avoid Russian airspace as Ukraine escalates drone operations       Published 9 hours ago             Von der Leyen was clear in her statement that the Leipzig attack had involved "military-grade material carried out by Russian operatives on European Union soil". "We will not tolerate it," she said. While she was meeting Rutte in Brussels, EU foreign ministers had gathered at Wicklow in Ireland, where France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said action could be taken on a European level against Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" of ships carrying oil and other cargo aimed at avoiding EU sanctions. Barrot and fellow ministers from Belgium and the Netherlands said they had summoned Russian ambassadors in protest at the attack. Lithuania's Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys said it was obvious that Russia saw no political cost in its hybrid operations against European allies. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said they were working on how to tighten enforcement of existing sanctions, and added there was broad support for an EU visa entry ban on Russian ex-combatants as well as stricter visa limits on Russian tourists. Several EU countries, including Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain, are pushing for more than €193bn (£165bn) in frozen Russian assets to be used to help Ukraine. The idea was first planned at the end of 2025, and rejected by Belgium where the money is held. However, Belgium's position is unchanged because it fears being held financially liable by the courts. The Leipzig attack was part of a broader pattern of increasingly dangerous incidents, including drones and interference with critical infrastructure, von der Leyen said. Mark Rutte added there had been increased risk to Europeans from drones and missiles crossing into countries on the Alliance's eastern flank, and there had been more "malign activities targeting our territory directly, whether it is fires set in factories producing defence equipment for Ukraine or indeed the Russian hybrid attack in Leipzig".      (German police secures the area after a second sabotage attempt on Germany's electricity grid, with local police saying they are investigating an attack on a substation in Bergheim, Germany, September 2, 2026)    Image source,  Reuters  Image caption,  Police search an area in Bergheim after an attack on a substation       Several acts of suspected sabotage have been reported in Germany in the past 24 hours alone, including two attacks on electricity substations, one in the east and one in the west near Cologne. Although authorities do not yet know who was behind the incidents, North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul said an attack that targeted power lines at Bergheim in western Germany was deliberate and whoever had carried out was attacking the country as a whole. "We are investigating two possibilities: sabotage directed by a foreign state and left-wing extremism," he said. Several power lines failed prompting five power plant units to go offline at two separate coal-fired power stations. Police said six launching devices had been found in a field. High-voltage power lines were damaged near the Jänschwalde coal-fired power plant in Brandenburg early on Tuesday and explosive devices were later found at a substation. Meanwhile, in neighbouring Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said a fire at a factory producing combat drones at Skarżysko-Kamienna, 140km (85 miles) south of Warsaw was a deliberate act of arson and sabotage. Arson has also not been ruled out in a fire at a factory in Lublin on Sunday night. Von der Leyen said sanctions had already been used to deter Russia, and EU foreign ministers were discussing further ways of "cutting deeper in Russia's war chest". The EU has already agreed to loan Ukraine €90bn (£77bn), and von der Leyen said Kyiv had asked for billions of extra euros in funding to help pay for PAC-3 air defence missiles. Work was already taking place on a joint Europe-Ukraine Freyja anti-ballistic missile defence project, she added. She promised that Europe and Nato would just maintain pressure on Moscow but "we will increase it and we will not stop, not until Russia stops bombing and killing innocent men, women and children in Ukraine".
