“We regard the decision taken by the Estonian side to please the ostentatious NATO and EU“ solidarity ”with the Czech Republic to declare an employee of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn persona non grata as an unfriendly and absolutely groundless action,” the commentary underlines.
As noted, the destructive consequences of this decision for bilateral relations will be felt for a long time to come.
Earlier, the Estonian Foreign Ministry announced the expulsion of a Russian diplomat from the country as a sign of solidarity with the Czech Republic.
The expulsion of Russian diplomats was also announced by Latvia and Lithuania.
