According to Fars News Agency’s International Group, the Russian government on Thursday reacted to the allegations of a court in Berlin and the German government’s decision to expel several Russian diplomats under this pretext.

According to the news agency «DiceKremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the German government’s move as an “unpleasant event” in relations between the two countries, but stressed that it should not affect the interactions between the two heads of state.

“This incident, which you mentioned, is an unpleasant event in bilateral relations, but in no way should it be based on the prospect of interaction between the president,” Peskov said in response to a reporter’s question. [ولادیمیر] “Putin and the new German chancellor will have an impact.”

A German court today (Wednesday) sentenced a 56-year-old Russian citizen to life in prison for the murder of a Georgian anti-Moscow citizen named “Zemlikhan Khangoshvili” in 2019. Khavoshvili was a former Chechen rebel commander.

The German Foreign Ministry, in the presence of the Russian ambassador in Berlin, subsequently announced its intention to expel two German embassy staffers following the alleged murder.

However, German Chancellor Olaf Schultz claimed: “The verdict in the case of Park Tiergarten’s murder is clear evidence that bad things have happened, and it was quite true that German Foreign Minister Annalna Bairbock gave a clear answer. ».
