Russian envoy downplays Leipzig airport attack threat, hints at capability

Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergei Nechayev suggested that a Leipzig airport attack would have been far more severe if Moscow had intended it, implying Russian involvement in recent incidents while dismissing the threat level. The statement is rhetorical and unverified, but signals a deliberate escalation in messaging amid heightened tensions. It matters as it may influence German threat assessments and public perception of Russian hybrid operations.
