He noted that the decision to terminate lease agreements for land plots that were provided for the location of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission was agreed upon by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“This was precisely the department that coordinates the work of all government bodies, even municipal authorities, in the field of foreign policy. Further decisions will be made in accordance with our interests,” Peskov noted at a briefing with journalists.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, confirmed that the Moscow City Property Department had terminated lease agreements for plots for the Ukrainian Embassy.
