Russia rebuffs German calls to de-escalate tensions
Original: Russia's top diplomat rejects German calls to ease off its `dangerous' escalation toward the country
Russia's top diplomat has rejected appeals from Germany to ease off what Berlin describes as a dangerous escalation toward the country. The German government had urged Moscow to step back from increasingly confrontational behaviour, warning of the risks posed by its posture. Moscow dismissed the appeal, signalling no shift in its stance and deepening concern among European capitals about rising tensions between Russia and the West.
Why now: Ongoing tensions over the war in Ukraine keep Russia's confrontational rhetoric toward Germany and Europe in focus.
