Germany should expel all Russian diplomats – senior MP

The list of countermeasures suggested by the MP includes establishing a special government agency to refute disinformation or combat it “through hybrid activities,” banning Russian tourists and journalists from entering Germany, shutting down “propaganda portals,” and deleting any social media accounts deemed suspicious by the authorities. The lawmaker also called for the closure of the Russian House – a center in Berlin run by the Russian government agency Rossotrudnichestvo that holds cultural events and offers language courses – labeling it a network of Russian “influence.” Rossotrudnichestvo blasted Kiesewetter’s words as “absurd.” They “have nothing to do with reality,” the agency’s spokesman said, adding that the MP “knows nothing about the activities of the Russian House in Berlin and has never been there.”
