STOCKHOLM: Estonia is expelling a Russian diplomat over sanctions violations and other crimes against the state, the Baltic country's foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The first secretary of the Russian embassy in Tallinn was declared unwanted by Estonia and must leave the country, the ministry said without naming the diplomat.
"The Russian embassy's ongoing interference in the internal affairs of the Republic of Estonia must end," Estonia's Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said in the statement.
