German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Thursday expressed regret over Russia’s decision to close Goethe-Institut cultural centers in Moscow, St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg, saying the organization had served as an important cultural bridge between the two countries. Wadephul said relations between the German and Russian peoples had traditionally been friendly, while blaming the Russian leadership for the deterioration in ties. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot and Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski voiced support for Germany at a meeting of the Weimar Triangle in Weimar, with both countries backing Berlin’s response to what Germany has described as Russian hostile actions. #russia #germany #goetheinstitut #goetheinstitutes #johannwadephul #moscow #berlin #russiagermany #russiarelations #germanynews #europe #europeanunion #weimartriangle #france #poland #geopolitics #diplomaticcrisis #russiaeurope #breakingnews #worldnews In this Times Now World News report, we
