They are being expelled as personae non-gratae

The Greek authorities have declared 12 members of the Diplomatic and Consular Missions of the Russian Federation, accredited in Greece, as personae non-gratae.

The above took place in accordance with the provisions of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Affairs and the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Affairs.

The Acting Secretary General informed the Russian Ambassador earlier today about this decision.
