BUCHAREST: Russia's decision to expel Romania's ​consul general in St Petersburg is predictable after the European Union state expelled ‌his ‌counterpart ​from ‌the ⁠Black Sea ​city of Constanta ⁠in the wake of a drone crash, the Romanian foreign ⁠ministry said.
A ‌Russian ‌drone crashed ​into ‌an apartment ‌block in the eastern Romanian city of Galati during ‌an overnight attack on neighbouring Ukraine ⁠in ⁠May, the first time a densely populated area in a NATO country had been hit causing injuries ​during Russia's ​war in Ukraine.
