(Reuters) – Russia has announced that Norway has been added to the list of foreign states that have engaged in “unfriendly” actions towards Russian diplomatic missions, according to news agencies on Thursday.
As a result, countries included in this list face restrictions on the number of local staff they can employ in Russia. Norway now has a limit of 27 staff, as reported by state news agency RIA Novosti.
This development comes after Norway expelled 15 Russian diplomats in April on allegations of espionage. In response, Russia ordered 10 Norwegian diplomats to leave the country.
Further details are yet to be provided.
