The Russian Federation has expelled ten diplomats of the Baltic states in retaliation to a similar move by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania earlier.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that diplomats expelled included people from the Estonian Embassy and the Pskov office of its consulate general in Saint Petersburg.

Moscow demanded that diplomats declared persona non grata "leave the territory of the Russian Federation in the same time that its diplomatic representatives were given to leave the Baltics."

The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Estonia expelled three employees of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn with diplomatic status who were "actively engaging in undermining Estonian national security" two weeks ago.

The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry said its decision to expel Russian diplomats was to "demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine where Russia's unprecedented military aggression is unfolding."
