EU warns against attacks on its territory as Russian strikes on Kyiv intensify

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the EU "will not tolerate attacks" on its territory following the identification of two Moscow-linked suspects tied to explosive drones found in Leipzig.

The statement comes amid escalating hostilities between Russia and Ukraine. Russian forces initiated a targeted campaign against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, conducting overnight drone strikes on Kyiv that injured at least one resident. The offensive followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, where he labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin "patient zero." Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russian oil refineries created local fuel deficits, obliging Moscow to purchase petroleum products abroad to meet domestic demand.
