Forty diplomats from the staff of the Russian Embassy in Berlin will be expelled by Germany on charges of espionage, according to Foreign Minister Analena Berbock.
According to the German Foreign Minister, "the federal government decided today to declare as undesirable persons a large number of employees of the Russian Embassy who here in Germany work every day against our freedom, our society and against our unity."[/B]
LEFT BY LEFT HERE ALL DEVELOPMENTS
The 40 Russian diplomats have ten days to leave Germany.
There is reportedly concrete evidence from German security authorities that these undesirables were acting as agents of the Russian intelligence services and posed a threat to the lives of certain Ukrainian activists living in Germany, but were also monitoring German pro-Ukrainian activists who were acting on behalf of Ukraine and were considered a threat to their safety.
Bourbock also noted that there would be further sanctions against Russia and added "the images from Busha demonstrate the unbelievable brutality of the Russian leadership and all those who follow their propaganda. We fear that similar images will be seen in other places from which Russian troops are withdrawing."
