The Russian Federation will publish hundreds of German diplomats and teachers: Germany prepares counterclaims

The German Foreign Ministry criticized this decision, calling future expulsions "unilateral, unjustified and incomprehensible. " Russia plans to start the expulsion of German diplomats, teachers and other cultural staff from June. In view of all, such a step will cause additional tension in the bilateral relations of Moscow and Berlin. About it reports Sky News. The German Foreign Ministry criticized this decision, calling future expulsions "unilateral, unjustified and incomprehensible.

" According to the German press, several hundred German civil servants, including teachers and employees of Goethe-Institut, who is engaged in the popularization of German culture and language abroad, can be sent outside Russia. Such a step was an answer to attempts to limit the activities of Russian special services in Germany at the beginning of this year.

"In April, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced a restriction on the number of staff in our representative offices abroad and in the organizations of Germany in the Russian Federation," the German Foreign Ministry explained. Diplomats added that this would lead to "a significant reduction in Germany in the Russian Federation. " Germany has not yet announced counterclaims in response to the expulsion of its citizens, but this is expected next week.
