This is stated on the website of the Russian department.

It is specified that this decision was communicated to the official diplomatic representatives of the three countries, who were summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"A protest was lodged with diplomats in connection with the recorded participation of diplomatic employees of the consulates general of the Kingdom of Sweden and the Republic of Poland in St. Petersburg and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Moscow in illegal actions on January 23, 2021," the statement said.

The Russian ministry stressed that such actions on their part are unacceptable and do not correspond to their diplomatic status.

“In accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of April 18, 1961, diplomats who took part in illegal actions were declared“ persona non grata ”.

They have been ordered to leave the territory of the Russian Federation in the near future, ”the Foreign Ministry added.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said that Moscow would react to every case of interference in the internal affairs of the state by foreign diplomats.
