Moscow’s move is a response to Bucharest’s decision last month to send an aide to Russia’s military attaché from Romania in the wake of a dispute involving several members of the European Union who were previously in the Kremlin’s sphere of influence. .
A statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Romanian ambassador in Moscow had been summoned and informed of the deportation.
The deputy was “instructed to leave the Russian Federation within 72 hours,” the Foreign Ministry reported.
“The Russian side took this step in response to Romania’s announcement as persona non grata before the deputy military attaché of the Russian embassy in Bucharest in Bucharest on April 26,” the ministry added.
Romanian media at the time reported that a Russian diplomat was being sent for espionage.
Romanian Prime Minister Florin Citu said the move does not necessarily have to be interpreted as a “response of solidarity to what is happening in other countries.”
Last month, the Czech government accused Russian security services of being responsible for a life-threatening explosion at an army munitions depot in 2014 in the east of the country.
After making these accusations, Prague sent a series of Russian diplomats, and Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Slovakia, in solidarity with the Czech Republic, took similar measures.
