Lithuania has declared four Russian diplomats personae non gratae, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

Lithuania has made this decision to show solidarity with Ukraine, which is experiencing Russia's unprecedented military aggression, it said.

A note declaring four staff members of the Russian embassy personae non gratae for activities inconsistent with their diplomatic status has been presented to Russian Ambassador Alexei Isakov.

The diplomats in question have been told to leave Lithuania within five days.
