ROME, September 6. /TASS/. Germany has not demonstrated any evidence of Russia's responsibility for the UAV incident at Leipzig Airport, which raises certain suspicions of deliberate discrediting of Russia, military expert and editor-in-chief of the Italian portal Analisi Difesa, Gianandrea Gaiani, told TASS.
"No concrete evidence of Russia's responsibility has been presented. If it existed, as in other similar previous cases in European countries, it would have been immediately displayed everywhere - in the media, on television. We have seen nothing pointing to Russia's responsibility for the drone in Leipzig, an operation that, by the way, failed, since nothing exploded and caused no damage," the agency's interlocutor noted.
He also drew attention to the fact that accusations against Russia in Germany, as well as assumptions about possible influence on the elections, are being voiced on the eve of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, where the Alternative for Germany is the leading party in the polls. At the same time, Germany's special services are conducting an investigation against it under the article on security threats, the expert noted.
"All of this looks like an attempt to criminalize Russia and blame anyone for supporting Russia. Let us not forget that Alternative sent its representatives to the forum in St. Petersburg, where opportunities for restoring Nord Stream were discussed. Meanwhile, Berlin remains a loyal ally of Ukraine, while during the investigation in Germany it turned out that responsibility for the sabotage of this gas pipeline lies with the Ukrainian side," the expert continued.
