The German ambassador to Moscow, Geza Andreas von Geyer, stated that “Russian-German relations have witnessed a number of political crises in recent years, including the assassination in the Tiergarten in Berlin, the cyberattack on the German parliament, and the treatment of non-governmental organizations and the German media.”

And he said in a statement: “However, when I look at what the situation was at the beginning of February in the field of science, culture and economy, what it is today, and the prospects for the future, it is a real disruption, seriously affecting those who advocated good interaction between the peoples of Our country”, arguing that it is “part of the heavy price for Russia’s actions in Ukraine”, and expressed confidence that “after February 24, bilateral relations between Russia and Germany will have a different nature.”

And von Geyer pointed out that “the German presence in Russia has changed, including at the diplomatic level”, explaining this by the fact that “the German side lost “many innocent colleagues in its embassy and consulates” due to the expulsion of diplomats” , and stressed that “a large part of German entrepreneurship left” Russia after February 24, while many programs and projects were closed.
