In total, thirteen diplomats and eight other members of staff will return to Moscow.The changes are due to come into effect on February 1, according to the Estonian public broadcaster ERR News.“Considering that, in light of this war of aggression, the Russian Embassy is not engaged in promoting Estonian-Russian relations, we believe that its [current] size is not justified.”According to the minister, Estonia previously closed Russia’s consulates in Narva and Tartu and expelled three members of staff “who were actively undermining Estonia's security and spreading propaganda justifying Russia's military actions”.Relations between the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have nosedived following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.Vilnius has recently downgraded the diplomatic ties with Moscow and later expelled the Russian chargé d'affaires over undiplomatic conduct."
