Assassination Of Chechen Veteran Provokes Diplomatic Row Between Germany And Russia

BERLIN, GERMANY - DECEMBER 06: People walk past The entrance to the Russian Embassy on December 6, 2019 in Berlin, Germany. A growing diplomatic row has broken between Germany and Russia following the recent expulsion by Germany over two Russian diplomats in connection with the assassination of a Chechen war veteran in Berlin earlier this year. Germany accuses the Russian government with direct involvement in the September assassination of Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, who fought against Russian forces during the Chechen War, during broad daylight in a park in Berlin. A man with the alias of Vadim Adreevich Sokolov was apprehended soon thereafter and is still being held in custody by German law enforcement authorities. (Photo by Carsten Koall/Getty Images)
