Russia to Shut Goethe-Institut Centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that Russia will close the Goethe-Institut cultural centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg in retaliation for Germany’s closure of the Russian Goethe center in Berlin over a drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport blamed on Moscow; Germany also shuttered the Russian consulate in Bonn. Putin accused Berlin of planted evidence, and the centers had remained open amid broader Ukraine-related tensions.

Russia Retaliates by Shutting Goethe-Institut Centers After Berlin’s Closure of Russian Outposts

Russia says it will close Goethe-Institut cultural centers in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Yekaterinburg in response to Germany’s decision to shutter a Russian cultural centre in Berlin and a Bonn consulate, a move tied to Germany’s attribution of the August Leipzig/Halle drone incident to Moscow. Lavrov framed the closures as retaliation and criticized Germany’s stance, while the EU debated sanctions and urged a stronger response to what it called state-sponsored actions. Russia warned it would retaliate further, highlighting escalating tensions between Moscow and Berlin amid broader Western pressures over the war in Ukraine.
