Germany says it will shut down four out of five Russian consulates in the country by revoking their licenses, a tit-for-tat move after Moscow's decision to limit the number of German officials in Russia to 350. The Russian government would be still be allowed to operate its embassy in Berlin and one general consulate, but Germany expects the rest to cease operations by year-end, the Foreign Ministry said. At the same time, Germany will close its own consulates in Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg, and Novosibirsk, leaving only the German Embassy in Moscow and the consulate in St Petersburg in operation.
