Finnish President Alexander Stubb has expressed skepticism that Russia would risk attacking a member nation of NATO. He shared this assessment during an interview with the German publication Bild. The statement comes amid growing tensions, with reports suggesting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is preparing to accuse Russia of a drone attack attempt on Leipzig Airport. This accusation is expected to be followed by the announcement of extensive new sanctions targeting Russian entities. These new sanctions will be implemented alongside a separate set of sanctions being prepared by the European Union. The situation highlights ongoing concerns about Russian aggression and the potential for escalation, though Stubb believes a direct attack on a NATO country remains unlikely.
