That's the view of the country's Ambassador to Ireland.
His comments come amid growing tensions between the EU and Russia in the wake of the attempted drone attack on Leipzig airport last month.
Germany blamed Russia for that attack , prompting the Department of Foreign Affairs to summon the Russian Ambassador to a meeting with officials over the issue.
