MOSCOW (AP) – The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that it had expelled two military diplomats in a month’s tit tat move, a month after Romania expelled two Russian diplomats.
Diplomats expelled from Russia and Western countries have become increasingly common in recent years as tensions have been exacerbated by fighting in Ukraine.
The ministry said in a statement that it summoned Liliana Burda, deputy missionary director of the embassy, and sent her a notice announcing the embassy’s defense attachment and its deputy’s “personality nongrata.”
According to the statement, the move was in response to the ministry’s so-called “unfounded decision”, announcing the military announcement at the Russian Embassy in Bucharest and its aides “character Non Granta”. The department provides no additional details.
Romania said last month that it had violated the Russian embassy of the Russian embassy for “activities that violate the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.”
The Russian Embassy at the time called the decision “to no avail” and said Moscow “reserved the right to take retaliation measures.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reportedly asked Bucharest to reject Romanian presidential candidate Calin Georgescu, who stood out in May, formerly the European presidential candidate Calin Georgescu of Frontrunner, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reportedly claimed that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen claimed that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had claimed that deportation was made.
Georgescu used to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a man who loves his country” and called Ukraine “the country of invention”, but he claimed he was not pro-Russian.
