Estonia is expelling Russian diplomat

Republic of Estonia - Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On 24 March, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia summoned the chargé d’affaires of the Russian embassy and presented a diplomatic note on declaring a member of the diplomatic staff of the embassy persona non grata.
The activities of the person in question have violated the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and they have to leave Estonia by 29 March. The diplomat in question has been engaged in directly and actively undermining Estonia’s security and constitutional order, spreading propaganda that justifies Russia’s military action and causing divisions in Estonian society.
