Russia's Foreign Ministry announced today the expulsion of a German diplomat, in response to what the Kremlin called the unfounded expulsion from Berlin of a Russian diplomat accused of espionage in January.
The ministry stressed in a statement that Germany's accusations that the Russian diplomat was involved in espionage were fabricated and a provocation.
" The expulsion of a German diplomat from Russia is completely unfounded and completely unacceptable ," said German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, adding that Russia was using unjustified retaliatory measures instead of diplomacy.
Speaking during a trip to Brunei, Wadephul said the diplomat in question was a member of the military attaché's staff at the German Embassy in Moscow.
" We reserve the right to take further action," he added.
Security services across Europe have warned of a growing threat from Russian intelligence agencies seeking to deter Western powers from supporting Ukraine.
