Russia says it will halt the activities of its diplomatic mission to NATO from November 1 after the Western military alliance expelled eight Russians in a row over spying
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov speaks on the side of the meeting dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the House of Russian Diaspora in this handout photo released by the Russian Foreign Ministry Press Service in Moscow, Russia on October 18, 2021.
Lavrov said that Russia would also be ending the alliance's liaison mission — established in 2002 and hosted at the Belgian embassy — and information office in Moscow. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at the time that the decision to kick out the Russian representatives was not "linked to any particular event" — but gave no more details over the move.
