Sands: the inclusion of countries in the list of unfriendly entails a decrease in the level of contacts

“Naturally, being on the list of unfriendly countries entails a decrease in the level of contacts,” Peskov said.

He clarified that the impact of the reduced volume of contacts is related to restrictions on the recruitment of staff for consular and diplomatic institutions.

Earlier, the Russian government expanded the list of unfriendly states.

The list includes Greece, Denmark, Slovenia, Croatia and Slovakia.

Prior to this, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a list of states and territories that commit unfriendly actions against Russia.
