Russia shuts German consulate and cultural centers amid drone attack dispute
Russia has ordered the closure of Germany’s consulate in St. Petersburg by September 18 as a tit-for-tat response to Germany shuttering Russia’s consulates and cultural centers in Bonn and Berlin, signaling a deepening bilateral crisis amid the war in Ukraine. The move follows Berlin’s accusations of a drone attack at Leipzig/Halle and comes with Moscow and Berlin trading blame and warnings of high-stakes escalation, marking a new low in their relations as both sides publicly hold the other responsible.
