(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 27 - Relations with European countries are at the "lowest possible level": said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov after some of them, including Moldova, Sweden and Norway, expelled Russian diplomats in recent days.
"The assessment is obvious: everything has deteriorated to the minimum possible," Peskov said, adding that "every step like another expulsion of diplomats narrows the basis for continuing de facto diplomatic relations and certainly cannot remain without some reciprocity."
"It is another step that causes further degradation of our relations," Peskov stressed.
