Russia’s Foreign Ministry has summoned Norway’s ambassador to Moscow on Monday following the arrest of Russian citizens for allegedly deploying unmanned aerial vehicles illegally.
According to the Russian diplomatic service in a statement, Moscow has conveyed to the Norwegian ambassador, Robert Kvile, the inadmissibility of these decisions taken by the authorities of the Scandinavian nation.
The Russian representatives have remarked to Kvile that these arrests and trials «are politically motivated» and do not comply with «the principles of fair and impartial justice», according to the Russian agency TASS.
Finally, the Russian authorities have called for an end to what they consider to be ethnically motivated persecution of Russian citizens, which has been exacerbated since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
