Russia says Germany's closure of its consulate in Bonn is absurd

​The ​Kremlin said ‌on Thursday that ​Germany was displaying ‌an inconsistent and absurd position by choosing to shutter the ‌Russian consulate in Bonn, ‌a decision Berlin took after a drone incident at ⁠the ​Leipzig/Halle ⁠Airport.

Germany's response measures included the ⁠closure of a Russian cultural centre ​in Berlin and the ⁠consulate in Bonn. On Tuesday, ⁠President ​Vladimir Putin accused Germany of planting evidence ⁠in order to blame Moscow ⁠for ⁠the incident.
