On September 1, Germany announced it would end the lease for a property known as the Russian House in Berlin following accusations of Russian involvement in a drone attack attempt at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Germany is experiencing a severe housing crisis with over 1.4 million homes lacking and rising rents. Nearly 52% of the population resides in rented accommodation.
