Peskov commented on the information about the possible closure of the Russian Embassy in Bulgaria

“The Foreign Ministry will be considered and, if necessary, reported to the president,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier in Sofia it was announced that Bulgaria was expelling 70 Russian diplomats and other embassy workers.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that this decision of the Bulgarian authorities was made by order of external forces.

At the same time, Russian Ambassador to Bulgaria Eleonora Mitrofanova said that due to the actions of the Bulgarian authorities, she would be forced to raise the issue of closing the embassy in Sofia with the Russian leadership.
