Russia has ordered the Estonian ambassador in the country to leave by February 7th, as they accuse Estonia of Russophobia.
In a statement, the Russian foreign ministry said Estonia had “purposefully destroyed” relations with Moscow.
This is the first ambassador Russia has expelled since invading Ukraine last year.
According to the BBC, Estonia responded to the order by asking the Russian ambassador to leave by the same date.
Russia’s move against the ambassador comes after Estonia recently ordered a reduction in the size of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn.
Moscow was told to reduce its embassy from 17 to 8 by the end of January.
In a statement in early January, Estonia said embassy staff had stopped seeking to advance relations between the countries since the conflict broke out.
