Russia resumes rotating embassy staff in Denmark following expulsions
The Russian Ambassador to Denmark, Vladimir Barbin, on Tuesday said Russia had resumed rotating its embassy staff in Denmark following two large-scale expulsions.
“The rotation of embassy staff has recently resumed. However, this process is not easy,” Mr Barbin said in an interview with Russia’s RIA Novosti.
The ambassador emphasised that the embassy’s top priority was to provide consular services, particularly in protecting the rights and interests of Russian citizens in Denmark.
In May 2022, Denmark expelled 15 Russian diplomats.
In September 2023, Danish authorities demanded that Russia should reduce its diplomatic presence to five diplomats and 20 administrative and technical staff members.
