Drone attack at Leipzig airport - Is this what hybrid war looks like? | Berlin Briefing Podcast

Описание: Did Russia just send a drone laden with Semtex explosives to attack Ukrainian transport planes at the German supply hub Leipzig Airport? More than a week after the attack, the German government still won’t use the “R” word for Russia when asked about the source of the attack. But it is increasingly sounding like a ‘not yet’.
DW’s Michaela Küfner asks security analyst Hans-Jakob Schindler, disinformation expert Julia Smirnova and DW Moscow bureau chief-in-exile Juri Rescheto to piece together what we know. How exposed is Germany to what the government admits are “daily attacks in a hybrid war”? And what can and should we read into the awkward official silence on Russia? #dwgermanpolitics
