Volodin said that it was necessary to lower the level of diplomatic relations with the Baltic countries for a long time

“There are more in the Baltic States than anywhere else... Cooperation with these countries is impossible due to the loss of their independence.

The decision to lower the level of diplomatic relations with Estonia and Latvia had to be taken a long time ago ... What is dead cannot die, ”Volodin wrote on Telegram.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Russia was lowering the level of diplomatic relations with Estonia to chargé d'affaires.

This measure, as specified in the department, is a step in response to the radical reduction of the staff of the Russian embassy by Tallinn.
