Summary
EU and NATO leaders said Wednesday they will keep backing Ukraine, framing the latest suspected Russian sabotage on European soil as a failed attempt to weaken support.
Germany said Russia was behind a foiled attack on an airport that serves as a key logistics hub for military aid shipments to Ukraine.
Brussels issued the rare joint message after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russian operatives used military-grade material in the plot and warned the bloc would not tolerate it.
Von der Leyen said the attack had strengthened, not shaken, Europe’s resolve—signaling that pressure on EU states is unlikely to curb military support for Kyiv.
