The Russian embassies across Europe have been at the center of numerous controversies and diplomatic incidents.
Moldova recently expelled three employees from the Russian Embassy, accusing them of espionage. This move follows similar actions by Norway, which expelled 15 Russian diplomats involved in alleged spying activities.
Protests have flared in cities like Prague, where activists protested against Russian military actions in Ukraine by spilling fake blood on the embassy walls. Meanwhile, Greenpeace in Berlin projected anti-war messages on the embassy as well.
In Warsaw, activists humorously staged a "referendum" to annex the Russian embassy, symbolizing the global outcry against Russia's actions in Ukraine.
These incidents underscored the growing tensions and the increasing scrutiny on Russian diplomatic activities across Europe and beyond.

What are the reasons behind recent expulsions of Russian diplomats in Europe?

Recent expulsions of Russian diplomats from countries like Moldova and Norway have largely been attributed to espionage activities. Moldovan authorities accused Russian embassy staff of engaging in spying, leading to their removal. Such actions reflect increasing vigilance among European nations regarding Russian diplomatic activity following geopolitical tensions.

Why was the Russian embassy in Prague targeted by activists?

The Russian embassy in Prague was targeted by Czech activists in response to Russia's extensive shelling of Ukraine. The activists used red liquid, symbolizing blood, to protest against the war and to make a public statement against Russia's military aggression. The act was part of broader European protests against Russian actions in Ukraine.

What diplomatic developments have occurred between the US and Russia recently?

Recently, diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia saw a potential thaw, as both countries agreed to restore the staffing levels at their respective embassies in Moscow and Washington. This move indicates a willingness to improve bilateral diplomatic channels, albeit under the shadow of ongoing geopolitical issues.

How has the Russian embassy in Berlin been involved in recent protests?

The Russian embassy in Berlin became a focal point for Greenpeace activists, who projected messages like "Stop the killing" on the embassy building. This act aimed to draw attention to Russia's actions in Ukraine and called for an end to violence. It highlights the use of innovative protest methods to convey anti-war messages and maintain pressure on Russian policy.

What incident occurred at the Russian embassy in Kabul?

In Kabul, an explosion near the Russian embassy resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals, including two Russian diplomats. This tragic incident highlights the volatile security situation surrounding diplomatic missions in regions prone to conflict, and underscores the risks faced by diplomats in unstable areas.
