Russia slams 'overblown' EU claims linking drone surge to Moscow, accuses Brussels of inciting 'Russophobia'

Mocow/Brussels, Oct 6 (UNI) Russia has slammed EU leaders for blaming the Kremlin for the recent drone surge in the EU's airspace, dismissing the statements as "groundless" and "overblown," amid its 'drone hysteria'.
Referencing the recent remarks by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz —who blamed Mocow for the recent surge in drone activity across Europe – particularly on its eastern borders, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, addressing reporters during a briefing, called the remarks ludicrous, reports TASS.
Slamming Brussels for inciting 'Russophobia' by such claims, he said that European politicians were "eager to blame Russia for any issue," adding that the accusations lacked "any foundation whatsoever."
