MOSCOW — Russia wants to maintain diplomatic relations with Western countries despite a series of expulsions of its diplomats, Russian deputy foreign minister Alexander Grushko said on Wednesday (April 6).

Several European countries including France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy have expelled large numbers of Russian diplomats in recent days.

Mr Grushko told Interfax that Russia, which has pledged to respond to the expulsions, was assessing the decisions by European countries. Mr Grushko said European countries disrupting the work of Russian diplomats were damaging their own interests and warned against any potential action against the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, wedged between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic seaboard.
