The German authorities have decided on the mass expulsion of Russian diplomats from the country, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. Moscow mirrors the response to this step, the diplomatic department said.
Berlin continues to defiantly destroy the entire array of Russian-German relations, including their diplomatic dimension, the ministry stressed. A TASS source in the German Foreign Ministry noted that Moscow "is already ready for a tough response" to these "unhealthy steps" of Berlin. "I just don't understand why the Germans need this? They have already lost too much in this confrontation because of Ukraine," a source said.
