Război diplomatic. Rusia închide Consulatul Germaniei din Sankt Petersburg și expulzează diplomații • Newsweek România

Russia has ordered the closure of the German Consulate in St. Petersburg and expelled German diplomats in response to Germany's actions against Russian representations. This decision marks a significant escalation in diplomatic tensions between Moscow and Berlin. The Russian Foreign Ministry has set a deadline for German diplomats to leave by September 18, while representatives of the Goethe Institute must depart by September 13. This move follows Germany's closure of the Russian Consulate in Bonn after a drone loaded with explosives was found at Leipzig Airport, a key NATO logistics hub. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Berlin of escalating the conflict further.
