Rusia închide centrele culturale germane după acuzațiile Berlinului privind o dronă cu explozibili găsită la un aeroport

Tensions between Russia and Germany escalate after Berlin accused Moscow of a drone attack on a German airport. In retaliation for Germany closing Russian institutions, Moscow announced the closure of German cultural centers. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Goethe-Institut centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg will be shut down. This decision reflects the deteriorating relations amid the Ukraine war and Western accusations of Russian sabotage. The conflict originated from an incident at Leipzig/Halle airport involving an explosive-laden drone found near a Ukrainian plane. Germany holds Russia responsible, while Moscow denies the allegations. The closure of cultural institutions signifies a shift in diplomatic relations, impacting cultural exchange and education.
