Kremlin Denies Russian Drone Surveillance Over US Routes Germany

The Kremlin has strongly denied a New York Times report alleging that Russia or its proxies have been flying surveillance drones over routes in eastern Germany used for transporting U.S. military supplies. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed skepticism about the report's authenticity, emphasizing that such drone activity would have been detected and publicly reported by German authorities. Peskov described the story as "fake news" and indicated that the Kremlin had not yet thoroughly examined the article. The allegations, based on claims from U.S. and Western officials, have heightened geopolitical tensions, but Russian officials maintain that the lack of German response makes the surveillance claims unlikely. This dispute reflects ongoing diplomatic frictions between Russia and Western nations concerning military logistics and intelligence activities. Both sides continue to trade accusations amid a volatile international environment.
