German Foreign Minister condemns Goethe closures
Moscow has decided to close the Goethe Institute branch in Russia in response to Germany's closure of the Russian House in Berlin, which Moscow announced no longer deserved to be called a "House of Science and Culture." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed that this closure comes as a reaction to the targeting of the Goethe Institute, which is considered one of the last German cultural institutes in Russia, following Berlin's accusations that Moscow attempted to carry out a drone attack loaded with explosives on Leipzig Airport and blamed Russia for it. These measures come amid escalating tensions after Germany imposed sanctions on Moscow and Russia's continued classification of many Western institutions as "undesirable."
