Consensus

Russia's general consulate in Bonn will cease issuing passports after September 11.
All unclaimed passports and pending applications will be transferred to the Russian embassy in Berlin.
The closure of the consulate in Bonn is due to a decision by German authorities.
The German government cited a drone attack at Leipzig/Halle airport in early August as the reason for closing the consulate.
The consulate will remain open until September 11 for the collection of ready passports without prior appointment.
The Russian embassy in Berlin will provide further information on the new process for passport collection.
The closure includes the termination of the agreement on the operation of the Russian House in Berlin.
