The EU on Sept. 2 said it had summoned Russia's top diplomat as it eyed sanctions after a drone incident in Germany that the bloc's foreign policy chief said bore the marks of "state-sponsored terrorism".
The incident involving an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig Airport has heightened fears over a sabotage campaign that the EU and NATO say is a Russian attempt to destabilize Ukraine's backers.
