Germany will close the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russian House in Berlin

According to the publicist, the pretext of the “Russian threat” also helps justify high expenditures on weapons against the backdrop of unresolved problems with infrastructure and education.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadefuhl said on Tuesday that Germany will close the Russian Consulate General in Bonn and terminate the agreement regarding the activities of the Russian House in Berlin. Before this, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt accused Russia without evidence of involvement in the drone incident at Leipzig airport. Moscow called it a hastily concocted provocation.

Branches of the Goethe Institute in Russia will be closed following Germany's decision to close the Russian House in Berlin, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov later said.
