Russia has indicated to close the Swedish diplomatic mission in St. Petersburg by expelling 5 Swedish diplomats.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Swedish Ambassador Malena Mard has been summoned and informed of the countermeasures taken by her country for taking a confrontational path with Russia.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that 5 Swedish diplomats have been added to the list of most undesirable persons.
Sweden expelled five Russian diplomats in the last week of April for engaging in extra-diplomatic activities.
Russia said that the expulsion of our diplomats was an openly hostile move.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Moscow’s consulate in Gothenburg, Sweden will be closed on September 1.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that by that time the Swedish Consulate in St. Petersburg will also stop its operations.
