MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin on Monday said it would not tolerate unfriendly gestures, when asked about Moscow’s expulsion of two Czech diplomats, a reciprocal move in response to two of Russia’s diplomatic staff being expelled from Prague earlier in June.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would continue to respond adequately in such situations, but said it remained interested in having good relations with all countries.
Earlier on Monday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Czech ambassador to Moscow and told the envoy that the diplomats had by the end of Wednesday to leave the country.
