The ambassador stressed that Austria's unfriendly steps would not remain without consequences, and the response to the expulsion of Russian diplomats would not be long in coming.

Lyubinsky also added that Austria continues to destroy the once constructive relations with Russia and with its steps Vienna calls into question its authority as a neutral negotiating platform.

On February 2, Austria declared four Russian diplomats persona non grata because they had committed "actions incompatible with their diplomatic status."

In addition, the authorities asked two diplomats from among the representatives of the Permanent Mission of Russia to the UN to leave the territory of the republic.
