Russia's Foreign Ministry has accused Austria of "yet another unfriendly step" for its move to expel two diplomats from the Russian Embassy in the capital, Vienna. The Austrian Foreign Ministry said on March 13 the two diplomats "engaged in acts incompatible with their diplomatic status" and were declared "personae non gratae." Russia's Foreign Ministry on March 14 called the decision "ungrounded," adding that Vienna is "fully responsible for the consequences of the situation" and that "measures in response will be carried out in a timely manner."
