**Germany is preparing a major new response to Russia after Berlin concludes Moscow was responsible for the attempted explosive-drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport**, [Politico](https://www.politico.eu/article/friedrich-merz-berlin-sanctions-russia-vladimir-putin-leipzig-attach-ascalate/) and Welt am Sonntag report, citing three people familiar with the plans. In government circles, the shift is already being described as a **“Zeitenwende 2.0**.”

The nearly finalized package is expected to combine direct German measures with tougher EU sanctions and potentially increased weapons deliveries to Ukraine. Sources said measures previously considered sufficient — such as expelling Russian diplomats or closing the Russian House in Berlin — would no longer match the scale of the alleged hybrid threat. Berlin is also preparing for a sharp response from Moscow.
