German FM criticizes Moscow's Goethe closures

Moscow has decided to close branches of the Goethe Institute, the German cultural organization, in Russia in response to the German government's closure of the Russian House in Berlin, after a drone loaded with explosives was found at Leipzig Airport. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov explained that this measure marks the end of German cultural presence in Russia, although the institute continues to operate on a limited basis amid tensions with the West due to the war in Ukraine. Goethe Institutes are among the last German institutions still operating in Russia, following Moscow's classification of many foreign organizations as "undesirable."
