German Reset with Russia: Drone Attack and Ostpolitik Revival Raise Concerns

A drone attack on German soil in August 2026 appears designed to pressure Berlin into resuming business with Moscow, while reports of ex-chancellors Merkel and Schröder brokering a Ukraine peace deal signal a potential revival of Ostpolitik. The incident and diplomatic maneuvers suggest a possible shift in German policy toward Russia, which could fracture EU unity on Ukraine sanctions. The extent of official German government involvement remains unclear, and the drone attack's attribution is not confirmed.
