The embassy called the expulsion of its employee from Germany a "concocted provocation."

The accusations of the German side against the deputy military attache of the Russian Embassy are a hastily concocted provocation, the Russian diplomatic mission categorically rejects them, the Russian Embassy in Germany said in a comment on January 22.

"They rejected the accusations as a ridiculous, hastily concocted provocation designed to discredit the Russian diplomatic mission in the context of the 'espionage mania' being actively promoted in Germany," the diplomats said.
