- Russian Foreign Minister Sergej Lawrow announced the closures in response to the closure of the Russian House in Berlin.
- German employees will probably have to leave Russia; Russian staff face lost freelance assignments and possible unemployment.
- Earlier, Russia’s Foreign Ministry summoned Germany’s chargé d’affaires over Berlin’s sanctions following an explosive drone’s discovery at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
Germany is knowingly accepting that this step against the Russian House unequivocally means the end of its cultural presence in the Russian Federation.— Sergej Lawrow, Russian Foreign Minister, at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok
