Russia orders the expulsion of an employee of the Romanian Embassy in Moscow in response to sanctions

MADRID, 8 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Russian Government announced this Thursday the expulsion of an employee from the Romanian Embassy in Moscow in response to a similar measure by Bucharest in response to the invasion of Ukraine, triggered on February 24 by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has indicated in a brief statement on its website that the Romanian charge d'affaires has been summoned to the agency's headquarters to "deliver a note declaring 'persona non grata' to an employee of the Romanian Embassy in Moscow ".

"This measure is a response to the prior and unmotivated decision adopted by Romania to declare a diplomat from the Russian Embassy in Bucharest 'persona non grata'", he underlined, within the framework of the punitive measures and sanctions adopted against Russia since the start of the war.
