MOSCOW (AA) - In a tit-for-tat move, Russia on Tuesday expelled a Moldovan diplomat.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said it summoned Moldovan Charge d'affaires Alexandru Chetraru and handed him a note prescribing one of the Moldovan diplomats to leave Russia.
"As a response to the unmotivated decision of the Moldovan authorities on Aug. 1 to declare persona non grata an employee of the Russian Embassy in Moldova, the Russian side declares persona non grata an employee of the Moldovan Embassy in Russia," the ministry added.
It also protested the “ongoing unfriendly steps of the official Chisinau toward Russia."
