The German Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador. The convocation is the reaction of the ministry led by Annalena Baerbock to what emerged following the arrests of two Russian-German spies who, commissioned by Moscow’s services, allegedly planned

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said this, calling the fact “serious”. The minister, who had already taken a position stating that Germany will not be intimidated, confirmed that the Russian ambassador had been summoned by the Foreign Ministry.
