Germany expelled two members of the Russian Embassy after a court ruled that Russia ordered the murder of a former Chechen militant in a Berlin park in 2019. Russia rejects the ruling and said it would retaliate. The incident, which has been compared to the Salisbury poisoning, could heighten pressure on the new German government to toughen its stance toward Moscow.
