Russia announced on Thursday that it would shut down Deutsche Welle's operations in Moscow and revoke the accreditation of its staff in response to Germany's ban on Russian broadcaster RT DE. Moscow plans to declare Deutsche Welle a "foreign agent" and halt its broadcasting in Russia. Additionally, Russian officials involved in the ban on RT DE will be barred from entering Russia. Germany's foreign ministry rejected any comparison between Deutsche Welle and RT DE, calling Russia's measures unfounded and detrimental to bilateral relations.
