Estonia’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday it was expelling a Russian diplomat over “ongoing interference” in the NATO and EU member’s affairs.

“The diplomat in question has been directly and actively involved in undermining the constitutional order and legal system of Estonia… The Russian embassy’s ongoing interference in the internal affairs of the Republic of Estonia must end,” Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said in a statement.
