Moscow has declared employees of the French diplomatic mission persona non grata, the Foreign Ministry said.

The diplomatic department summoned French Ambassador Pierre Levy to him and declared to him a strong protest because of the provocative and unjustified decision of the French authorities, who in April expelled 41 employees of Russian diplomatic institutions.

"It was emphasized that this step causes serious damage to Russian-French relations and constructive bilateral cooperation," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

In response, Moscow expels 34 employees of the French embassy. They were ordered to leave the territory of Russia within two weeks.

Moscow declared 27 employees of the Spanish embassy persona non grata following the expulsion of French and Italian diplomats, the Foreign Ministry said.

The agency summoned Ambassador Marcos Gomez Martinez and protested to him because Madrid decided to expel 27 employees of Russian foreign missions in Spain.

"As a response, 27 employees of the Spanish embassy in Moscow and the Spanish consulate general in St. Petersburg have been declared persona non grata. They must leave the country within seven days from the date the corresponding note was handed to the ambassador," the statement says.

The Foreign Ministry stressed that the unfriendly step of the Spanish authorities would have a negative impact on relations with Russia.

France, Italy react to Russia's expulsion of diplomats

RUSSIA - EXPULSION OF FRENCH DIPLOMAT

MAY 18, 2022


France strongly condemns the decision taken by Russia today to expel French diplomats and staff stationed at the French Embassy in Russia. The decision is being presented by the Russian side as a response to France’s decisions, announced on 4 and 11 April 2022, to expel several dozen Russian agents acting on our territory under diplomatic status and working against our security interests.

By contrast, the work of these diplomats and staff at our embassy in Russia, to whose courage and great professionalism France pays tribute, falls fully within the framework of the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations. The Russian authorities’ decision has no legitimate basis.

We can only deplore it.
French Foreign Affairs Ministry


This is a hostile act and absolutely must not lead to an interruption of diplomatic channels because it is through those channels that, if we succeed, peace will be achieved and that is certainly what we want ~ Italy PM, Mario Draghi

Hahahahahaha….. Maybe Putin expected a diplomatic embrace for invading a sovereign country.

Two years down the line, Russia will be a wreck economically, politically, diplomatically and even militarily.

The real question is….. what did Putin consider a win result before starting this war and how does he intend to achieve it. Even if Putin wipes off Ukraine from world map, I still can’t find a Russian win.

God knows what Putin is smoking.

Definitely not cocaine or Marijuana. Must be some rare expensive mad shiit!

What inspires him to have that belief that he can defeat NATO? Nations that are far more economically bigger and technologically advanced than Russia`s entirety.

Putin is just a drowning man who already know its a lost cause but shame cannot let him back-off. Their is no 1% feasibility of him defeating this lots on all forms of war he can imagine.

My man Putin.

The global south are with you. The Anglo plans to destroy mother Russia and balkanise it like they did with Yugoslavia and the soviet Union will never happen, the world are wiser now.

If them even do anyhow, allow one of your icbm's, preferably comrade "sarmat" to pay them a visit. It shall be well with you Putin, in Jesus name, Amen.
