Russia Closes German Cultural Hubs | Tulsa News

Russia’s retaliatory move to shut down all German cultural centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg marks a sharp escalation in diplomatic tensions, directly responding to Germany’s closure of Russian facilities in Berlin and Bonn. The spat erupted after Germany blamed Russia for a deadly drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, viewing it as part of a broader Kremlin strategy to undermine Ukraine’s support. While Germany insists it’s not at war but under hybrid warfare, Russia’s president dismisses the claims as political theater. The EU, already imposing heavy sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, is weighing further travel bans and asset freezes. Germany’s foreign minister vows a measured response and calls for dialogue — but the standoff shows no sign of cooling.
