NEW: Germany says it will expel a 'significant number' of Russian diplomats — linking their expulsions to the reported atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine.
"The pictures from Bucha bear witness to the unbelievable brutality of the Russian leadership and of those who follow its propaganda, to a will to annihilate that transcends all borders," Baerbock said.
"The federal government has therefore decided today to declare a significant number of members of the Russian Embassy as undesirables, who have worked every day against our freedom and against the cohesion of our society here in Germany," she added. "We are launching further responses together with our partners. We will further tighten existing sanctions against Russia, we will decisively expand our support for the Ukrainian armed forces, and we will also strengthen NATO's eastern flank."
