Rusia declară „persona non grata” un angajat al Ambasadei României la Moscova

Russia has declared a Romanian embassy employee in Moscow as 'persona non grata' in response to Romania's expulsion of a Russian diplomat. This action was announced by the Russian Foreign Ministry, citing it as a reaction to Romania's previous unfounded decision. The Romanian chargé d'affaires, Liliana Burda, was summoned and informed of the decision. The diplomatic tensions are part of broader issues between Russia and EU/NATO member states, including Romania. Earlier, Romania had expelled a Russian diplomat following repeated violations of its airspace by Russian drones.
