The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday summoned Danish Ambassador to Moscow Carsten Sondergaard, and resolute protest was presented to the Danish envoy over the ungrounded decision to declare 15 Russian diplomats personae non gratae.
The Russian diplomatic office also said that Copenhagen’s overtly anti-Russian policies had been causing a major harm to bilateral relations.
“On May 5, Danish Ambassador to Russia Sondergaard was summoned, and resolute protest was presented to him over the ungrounded decision Copenhagen made on April 5 to declare 15 employees from the Russian embassy in Denmark and the office of the Russian Trade Representative in Copenhagen personae non gratae, as well as over the military aid the Danish authorities have been sending to Kiev. According to the Russian side, the kingdom’s overtly anti-Russian policies have been causing a major harm to bilateral relations,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on Thursday.
