Ukraine cuts personnel of its embassy in Russia

KYIV. March 27 (Interfax) - Kyiv has decided to cut full-time staff in the Ukrainian embassy in Russia, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.

That is why we will cut the number of diplomats in the embassy in Russia," Ukrainian Foreign Minister information policy department director Yevhen Perebyinis said at a briefing.

According to the information of Perebyinis, Russia considerably cut the staff of its embassy in Kyiv earlier.
