Iceland to suspend embassy operations in Russia

Iceland announced Friday that it will suspend the operations of its embassy in Moscow beginning on August 1.

“This is not an easy decision, [but] the current situation simply does not make it viable for the small foreign service of Iceland to operate an embassy in Russia,” the country’s foreign minister said in a statement.

The ministry’s press service noted that the decision to suspend embassy operations does not constitute a severance of diplomatic relations.
