PoliticsRussian House in Berlin staff must leave Germany within seven days, ambassador says

Germany has ordered staff of the Russian House of Science and Culture in Berlin to leave within seven days, Russian Ambassador Sergey Nechayev said. He noted that the agreement governing the institution expires in summer 2027, but the staff represent the House and Rossotrudnichestvo. Germany also announced the closure of Russia’s Bonn consulate and the House’s operations after blaming Moscow for a Leipzig/Halle Airport drone incident. The Russian Embassy called the incident a hastily concocted provocation serving Kyiv and the militarist wing of Europe’s political class.
