Multiple European nations, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, and Ireland, collectively expelled dozens of Russian diplomats suspected of espionage.
These coordinated expulsions aim to diminish Russia's intelligence presence in the EU, citing national security threats amplified by Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
The actions align with similar moves by other Western countries, signaling a unified stance against Russian covert operations.
Russia retaliated by expelling 10 diplomats from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, matching the number of Russian envoys those Baltic states had previously expelled.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
