In tit for tat, Moscow shutting down Deutsche Welle bureau in Russia

Russia says it will close the bureau of German broadcaster Deutsche Welle and revoke its employees’ accreditations in Russia in response to Berlin’s ban on the German-language channel of Russian state TV network RT.

The Russian foreign ministry says in a statement it will also “terminate the satellite and other broadcasting (output) of Deutsche Welle” on Russian territory.
