The decision to expel Russian diplomats from Germany was taken as part of the desire to reduce the “presence of special services”. This was reported to the Foreign Ministry of Germany.
“The aim was to reduce the presence of Russian special services in Germany,” NTV said, citing the German Foreign Ministry.
We note that for several weeks the German government has been negotiating with Russia on this subject.
