The Russian Foreign Ministry said on January 23 that it had summoned Estonian Ambassador Margus Laidre in connection with Tallinn's actions and ordered him to leave the country on February 7. The Estonian Foreign Ministry earlier this month ordered Russia to reduce the number of staff in its embassy in Tallinn starting February 1. In response, Moscow decided to downgrade the level of diplomatic relations to charge d'affaires, the ministry said in a statement.
