North Macedonia Expels Three Additional Russian Diplomats In Third Such Move Since Ukraine Invasion

North Macedonia’s Foreign Ministry has ordered the expulsion of three Russian diplomats, the third such move since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The ministry did not specify the reasons but said the decision was made after information indicated that their actions were contrary to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Russia vowed that the “hostile step…will not go unanswered." The tiny Balkan nation, a NATO member, had previously expelled at least 11 Russian diplomats.
