Germany orders closure of four out of five Russian consulates in tit-for-tat move
WORLD 31 May 2023 - 16:30
Germany says it has told Russia to close four out of five consulates in Germany in a tit-for-tat move after Moscow set a limit for the number of German embassy staff and related bodies that can operate in Russia.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Christofer Burger told reporters in Berlin on May 31 that the measure is intended to create a “parity of personnel and structures” between the two countries, according to AP News.
The Russian government recently said that an upper limit of 350 German government officials, including those working in cultural bodies and schools, can remain in Russia. Burger said this means Germany will have to shut three consulates in Russia by November.
He said Russia will be allowed to continue operating the embassy in Berlin and one further consulate after the end of the year.
