The interim Ukrainian chargé d’affaires in Russia, Vasyl Pokotylo, was summoned to the foreign ministry in Moscow in light of the Ukrainian consul’s illicit activities in St. Petersburg.
“The Russian side stressed the inadmissibility of such activities, which are incompatible with the status of diplomat and harmful to the interests of the Russian Federation: it was announced that his stay in the territory of Russia is unwanted and he was recommended to leave borders within 72 hours starting April 19, 2021, “the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
