Commenting on Bulgaria's expulsion of a Russian diplomat from its territory, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that this action will be followed by a Russian response.
Today, Thursday, a Russian Foreign Ministry source confirmed to "Sputnik" news agency that Moscow would respond to this, without elaborating any details.
For his part, the press spokesman of the Russian Presidency (Kremlin) Dmitry Peskov announced his country's intention to respond to Bulgaria's unacceptable and provocative actions, stressing that Sophia's accusations against Moscow are baseless and without evidence.
Peskov told reporters today: "First, there are response measures by us, and you see that Russia will respond, and Russia will respond."
He added, "Moscow will not leave such provocative and totally unacceptable steps and baseless accusations and evidence without a response," stressing that any responses by Russia will be implemented according to its own interests.
On the other hand, the official spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, announced that relations between the European Union and Russia are at their lowest levels, noting that this happened because of Brussels.
Commenting on the statements of the European Union’s ambassador to Moscow, Zakharova said today, Thursday, that relations between the European Union and Russia are at their lowest levels after the Cold War: “We are really at the lowest level since the end of the Cold War, and it seems that we are retreating dynamically every day,” confirming that this happened Thanks to the actions of the European Union.
On Wednesday, the European Parliament expressed its regret over the current state of relations between the European Union and Russia, holding Moscow responsible in this regard.
It is noteworthy that relations between Russia and Western countries, including the United States and the European Union, worsened against the backdrop of the Ukrainian crisis since 2014, as the European Union countries imposed sanctions against people and entire sectors of the Russian economy, and Russia banned the import of foodstuffs from countries that imposed sanctions on them. .
Brussels and Washington accuse Russia of interfering in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which Moscow denied more than once, stressing that it is not a party to the Ukrainian conflict.
Despite the strong Russian relations at the bilateral level with some European countries, the ties with the European Union as a whole tend to be more tension and tension due to European sanctions.
