Germania își închide ultimul consulat general din Rusia, după o jumătate de secol. Diplomații trebuie să plece astăzi

Germany is closing its Consulate General in St. Petersburg, the last remaining consular representation in Russia, with diplomats required to leave by the end of the day. The consulate has been operational since 1972 and was the first German consulate in the Soviet Union. The closure follows a series of diplomatic tensions, including Russia's response to Germany's closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn. The German embassy in Moscow will take over the consulate's responsibilities. This decision comes after an incident involving a drone with explosives near a Ukrainian military plane, which Germany attributed to Russia, a claim Moscow denies.
