German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel withdrew permission for Rheinmetall AG to build a military training center east of Moscow as France prepares to hand over the first of two warships to Russia’s navy.
The government’s approval has been dropped “in light of European Union sanctions,” the German Economy Ministry, which Gabriel runs, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News.
