MOSCOW, Oct 29:
Russia has resumed rotating its embassy staff in Denmark following two large-scale expulsions, though the process remains challenging, Russian Ambassador to Denmark Vladimir Barbin said on Tuesday.
“The rotation of embassy staff has recently resumed. However, this process is not easy,” Barbin said in an interview with Russia’s RIA Novosti.
The ambassador emphasized that the embassy’s top priority is 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 reduce its diplomatic presence to five diplomats and 20 administrative and technical staff members. (UNI)
