@theuntoldtruthnews: Russia Orders Germany To Close Saint Petersburg Consulate As Diplomatic Tensions Soar Russia has ordered Germany to shut down its Consulate General in Saint Petersburg, with all staff required to leave the country by September 18. Moscow also confirmed the closure of Goethe-Institut cultural centers, giving those employees until September 13 to depart. The move is a direct response after Berlin closed the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russian House cultural center in Berlin. Germany took those steps after blaming Russia for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport involving explosives near a Ukrainian cargo plane. Russia has denied the accusation and called it a fabrication. Officials on both sides say the other is responsible for escalating the crisis, which comes against the backdrop of Germany’s continued support for Ukraine. Relations between Berlin and Moscow continue to deteriorate.
