German opposition leader Friedrich Mertz warns that Europe underestimates Russia's intent to destabilize the continent's political order. The statement signals a hardening of rhetoric in German politics ahead of elections, potentially influencing European defense and Russia policy.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has explicitly accused Russia of a drone attack and warned that Moscow is actively seeking to destabilize Europe's political order. This marks a significant escalation in rhetoric from a key Western leader, aligning with existing NATO assessments but now including a direct attribution of an attack. The full details of the alleged drone attack remain unverified, but the public accusation signals a hardening of Germany's stance.
