Russia's Foreign Ministry has released a statement on Germany's declaration Russian diplomats "persona non grata", APA reporsts citing Sputnik.
The Foreign Ministry said it views the move as "unsubstantiated and unfriendly."
Russia will respond in kind if the Russian diplomatic workers they turn out to have diplomatic passports, Andrei Klimov, the deputy chair of the upper house's Committee on Foreign Affairs, has said.
"There is an international rule, it was not made up by us, where expulsion of diplomats in response is expected, among other things. So Russia has all the reasons to do that," Klimov said.
