Russia Retaliates by Expelling Romanian Diplomat
Russia has expelled a Romanian diplomat in response to Bucharest's decision to expel a Russian envoy, in an escalation that reflects the deterioration of relations between the two countries since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022. Romania had previously expelled a Russian diplomat in July after accusing Russia of launching a drone that hit a residential building in Galati, while Moscow denied the accusation. The Russian Foreign Ministry responded by informing the Romanian chargé d'affaires in Moscow that one of their embassy staff is persona non grata, signaling a rise in tensions between the two nations, especially after the incident involving the drone that injured two people, with unmanned aircraft repeatedly penetrating Romanian airspace dozens of times since 2022.
