The war between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for the last 4 years. Due to this war, both the countries have suffered huge loss of life and property. US President Donald Trump tried hard to end the war, but he has failed for the last two years. Meanwhile, Donald Trump says that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not thinking of attacking NATO territory. It is a different matter that an attempt has been made to attack an airport in Germany with a drone.
When asked about this incident in the Oval Office on Friday (September 04, 2026), the US President said that he talked to him. He knows them very well. Putin is not thinking of attacking NATO territory. In fact, the discovery of explosive-laden drones (one of which was found near a Ukrainian jet and the other in a NATO logistics hub) has raised concerns across Europe.
At the same time, European security officials believe that these incidents are part of Russia's 'hybrid warfare' campaign, which is being conducted against countries that have supported Ukraine since Putin launched a full-scale invasion in 2022.
Investigative agencies expressed suspicion on Russia
US intelligence agencies are believed to have believed that Russian intelligence services could be behind the attack in August. They matched the DNA found on the drone to a suspected Russian sabotage attack at the same airport two years earlier. Trump's refusal to condemn the Kremlin on Friday could raise new concerns about America's commitment to NATO. These comments of the US President come at a time when he is sending his envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Moscow and Kiev with a plan to end the four-year-long Ukraine war.
Situation creating difficulties for NATO
Police forensic technicians prepare to deploy a bomb-disposal robot near a Ukrainian plane at Leipzig-Halle Airport, Germany, on August 5, 2026. These developments come at a very difficult time for NATO, as Russian drones are repeatedly testing the security of the countries located on the alliance's eastern border. But other European countries are also increasingly coming under threat.
Drones seen several times in Germany
Germany has repeatedly reported sightings of suspicious drones over military and industrial targets. In early August, police disabled a drone carrying explosives near a Ukrainian cargo plane in Leipzig. A few weeks later, another drone was found near the airport, which also contained traces of explosive material.
Kremlin accused of sabotage
At the same time, European governments have repeatedly accused the Kremlin of orchestrating sabotage plots aimed at reducing support for Ukraine and destabilizing the continent. A forensic technician works with a bomb-disposal robot near a Ukrainian plane at Leipzig Halle Airport.
