Hundreds of German civil servants working in the education and cultural sectors will need to leave Russia following a request by Moscow, reported AFP. According to the media outlet, the move comes after a decision by the Russian authorities to force Germany to slash its diplomatic staff and presence at public institutions such as the Goethe Institute cultural organisation and the German school in Moscow by the beginning of June.
