| [REGNUM] MIn the State Duma, the expulsion of foreign diplomats who participated in illegal actions in Moscow was called a necessary measure in response to a frank and demonstrative violation of international law and Russian legislation, a REGNUM correspondent reports on February 5. “We gave a quite distinct and clear signal to the European capitals that no one would allow“ handing out State Department cookies ”on the Russian streets and politicizing unsanctioned rallies,” said Leonid Slutsky (LDPR), head of the State Duma's international affairs committee . The task of the diplomatic representatives in the host country is, among other things, to maintain a decent level of bilateral dialogue, the parliamentarian noted.
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the expulsion of three foreign diplomats for participating in unauthorized rallies in support of blogger Alexei Navalny . We are talking about diplomats from Sweden, Poland and Germany. | |
