Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the three Baltic states, and the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 18th that they will take steps to expel Russian diplomats stationed there.
Of these,
▽ Estonia will expel 3 staff from the Russian embassy,
▽ Latvia will expel 3 staff,
▽ Lithuania will expel 4 staff, and
▽ Bulgaria will expel 10 staff.
Each country made a decision to show solidarity with Ukraine, which has been invaded by Russia, after saying that the reason for the expulsion was "activities that do not fit the status of diplomats and are disadvantageous". I explained that I did.
A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Zaharova, has opposed this, saying, "It is a completely unfounded expulsion and we will respond appropriately."
In Europe, Slovakia also announced on the 14th of this month that it will expel three Russian diplomats, and it seems that neighboring countries have shown solidarity with Ukraine and are becoming more cautious about Russia.
