The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned German Ambassador Alexander Graf Lambsdorff in response to what it called the 'persecution' of Russian journalists in Germany.

In light of this, Moscow is preparing countermeasures and has warned German correspondents in Moscow to brace for potential repercussions. While Russia criticizes Western countries for their treatment of journalists, it simultaneously restricts numerous Western media outlets and has been accused of media oppression itself.
