YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Russia has announced it is banning this network, Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcaster, as a retaliatory move. The foreign ministry said it was closing Deutsche Welle's Moscow bureau and revoking accreditation for our staff there. This is in response to Germany's decision to ban German-language programming from Russia's state media broadcaster, RT.

This decision from Moscow comes as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz prepares to head to Russia's capital for talks on Ukraine.

Scholz called the buildup of Russian troops on Ukraine's border "very serious" and said any invasion would come with serious consequences. The German Chancellor has been under pressure from other NATO members to take a harder line on Russia. No date has been set yet for his trip to Moscow.
