According to CoinMeta, on the 27th, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Lilianna Borda, the acting ambassador of Romania to Russia, was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Russia delivered a note to her, declaring a staff member of Romania's embassy in Moscow to be an "unwelcome person." Russia stated that this measure was in response to Romania's previous baseless declaration that a staff member of Russia's embassy in Bucharest was an "unwelcome person."
