BERLIN--Germany and France said they were expelling dozens of Russian diplomats on Monday in response to Moscow's alleged war crimes against civilians in Ukraine.
The images of dead bodies on the streets of Bucha, near Kyiv, bore witness to the brutality of Russia's leadership and those who follow their propaganda, Germany’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock said as she announced her country's decision to expel 40 Russians.
“We will counter this inhumanity with the force of our freedom and our humanity,” Ms. Baerbock said.
The diplomats, who must leave Germany within five days, had worked to undermine the freedom and unity of German society, she said.
