As tensions between Russia and Germany continue to escalate since the beginning
of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the German foreign ministry has confirmed
that hundreds of German employees in the education and cultural sectors will be
expelled from Russia next month.
The expulsions, including teachers from the German school in Moscow and staff
at the Goethe Institute, come as a response to tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions
between the two countries. The strained relations mark a significant
deterioration in the once-deep economic and cultural ties between Russia and
Germany, further exacerbating the already
tense situation. |
