According to the ministry, this was announced to the German side during a conversation with the charge d'affaires of the Federal Republic of Germany in Russia Beate Grzeski.

“They emphasized that such media escapades are contrary to the standards of professional journalistic ethics and constitute an attempt to interfere with the German media corporation in the internal affairs of Russia,” the Foreign Ministry said.

They emphasized that in the event of a repetition of the like, the Russian side “reserves the right to respond within the framework of existing national legislation”.

Earlier, the Federation Council’s Commission on the Prevention of Intervention in the Internal Affairs of Russia was informed that on July 27, Deutsche Welle posted a direct appeal on their Twitter account to participate in an unauthorized action.
