The Netherlands has decided to downsize the Russian diplomatic mission in Amsterdam because Moscow allegedly sends spies instead of diplomatic workers, Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra said on Saturday.
The Netherlands has made a very important step to expel about a dozen suspected Russian diplomats, the minister said, as quoted by a local public broadcaster. The expelled diplomats will have to leave within two weeks, he added.
