Why blame Russia?

Germany has blamed Russia for the attempted drone attack, reflecting ongoing tensions between Russia and many Western nations. This isn't an isolated incident; there have been other accusations of Russian interference or aggression in Europe, particularly since the invasion of Ukraine. This makes the US envoy's concern about the drone incident understandable.
