“It is characteristic that Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a critical assessment of the frantic campaign to discriminate against Russian culture and its figures, which is gaining momentum in a number of Western states,” the Kremlin said.

On March 1, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called for an end to attacks on Russians living abroad because of the situation in Ukraine.

As Russian Ambassador to London Andrey Kelin noted, there are indeed individual attempts to discriminate against Russians in schools and institutions in Britain, but they are not widespread.

Also, German Interior Minister Nancy Feser said that Germany is against discrimination against citizens with Russian roots.

The Russian Embassy in Germany sent a note to the German Foreign Ministry in connection with discrimination against citizens of the country.
