The spokeswoman for the Federal Foreign Ministry announced that the German ambassador in Moscow had been summoned to Berlin for urgent consultations. As she said: “This is standard procedure.” This is linked to last year’s cyberattack on German government agencies, including the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), which Russia is accused of committing.
According to information reported by German media, the ambassador will remain in Berlin for a week. He is scheduled to return later to Russia. A spokeswoman for the German Foreign Ministry said: “The federal government takes this event very seriously as an attack on our liberal democracy, as well as the institutions that support it.”
