Russia has announced the closure of German cultural institutions operating within its borders in direct response to Germany’s decision to shut down Russian cultural centers. The diplomatic countermeasure follows escalating tensions between Moscow and Berlin, which have previously led to mutual expulsions of diplomatic staff and restrictions on consular operations. Russian officials cited reciprocity as the primary justification for the move, mirroring actions taken by German authorities. The closures represent a further deterioration in bilateral ties and significantly curtail cultural and educational exchanges between both countries.

Germany your destiny is too burn Moscow to the ground
-The US and Russia are constantly preoccupied with war, further fueling animosity (while China focuses on developing its economy and science and technology to become the world's number one superpower)
-Only those who contribute to global peace and development earn people's gratitude.
Europe wants that war ordered by the US so bad it is now acting aggressively towards Russia. This is simply desperation at its best. How an entire continent can be a US proxy obeying everything it is told.
Now begins the great European war 2027
Es kommt je bald
Russia has culture left. Nothing but blind obedience.
Russia: We will blow up your airports
Germany: We will respond by closing you off from our cultural institutions
Even Goethe, were he alive today to see this, would most likely say "enough is enough!"
Русофобская ложь с целью одурачить немецкое общество и подготовить почву для войны.
Russia apparently considers Germany a soft spot within Europe. That with enough bullying the Germans hands will shake, please don't make them right.
How to properly retaliate? Germany should exercise its sovereign authority to dismantle Russia’s entire diplomatic representation within its borders. Having already revoked consent for Russia's regional consulates, Berlin should take the final step by declaring all remaining embassy staff persona non grata and formally severing diplomatic relations under the Vienna Convention. A total travel ban for Russian citizens alongside heavy restrictions for Belarusian ones also wouldn't hurt.

It’s not a tit for tat , German kick out spies , Russia kicks out social workers
It's a full-scale war on both sides, with many other countries fighting in the shadows. EU, US, NK, Iran, Japan, China, etc
the story about "russian drones" has very bad smell… western MSM is not telling people the important bits – Germany didn't provide any proof whatsoever, just usual BS – something about "patterns"… the other thing is – Merz in Germany is political corpse, that's why is very handy to find "russian drone" right before elections.
keep Russia out, germany down and the US in.
Classic geopolitical playbook. Divide and rule.
