Russia has added to the growing list of unfriendly countries towards it in the ongoing war with neighbour Ukraine.
European countries of Greece, Denmark, Slovenia, Croatia, and Slovakia, have been added to the list.
This develop[ment was made known by Prime Minister, Mikhail Mishustin, in a decree obtained by cable television, CNN.
The decree said Russia considers nations that “commit unfriendly actions” against It as “unfriendly countries.”
Meanwhile, the Czech Republic and the United States of America are already on the list.
Countries in this list are limited in their ability to hire workers located in the territory of Russia for embassies, consulates, and representative offices of state bodies.
The decree on unfriendly countries was signed by President Vladimir Putin in April 2022 barely two months after the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops.
Greece has a limit of hiring 34 people, Denmark of 20, and Slovakia of 16, the decree added.
Slovenia and Croatia will not be able to hire employees for their diplomatic missions and consular offices, as was the case with the United States.
Recall that the crisis between Ukraine started in February 2022 and has now lasted for five months with both nations expected to ceasefire.
