Germany decided to close Russia's General Consulate in the city of Bonn. The formal closure is scheduled for September 18. The decision was made in response to a hybrid drone attack attempt at Leipzig airport, which was attributed to Russia. The German government considered the action a threat to national security and responded with the measure of closing the Russian diplomatic representation on German territory. This decision marks a new moment in relations between the two countries, which had already been experiencing significant tensions.
