- Die Zeit Says Ukraine May Have Staged a False-Flag Operation at Leipzig AirportThe Die Zeit article being cited contains no claim that Ukraine is responsible for launching drones at Leipzig Airport. The piece notes that German investigators are examining every possible theory, including Kyiv's involvement. The authors, however, describe the Ukraine theory as deeply illogical. Die Zeit stresses that it is Russia that has far more interest in an attack on Leipzig, a major logistics hub used in part to transport military aid to Ukraine.
