On Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia summoned Kazakhstan ambassador, Yermek Kosherbayev, protesting over the non-expulsion of Ukrainian ambassador Petro Vrublevsky, who had previously outraged Moscow with his statements about the "killing of Russians" in Ukraine.
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maria Zakharova, claims that after the incident with Vrublevsky, Astana promised Moscow that the Ukrainian diplomat would "irreversibly leave Kazakhstan as soon as possible."
"Unfortunately, the assurances that this Bandera emissary will "never return" to Astana have not been fulfilled. This character has again shown up in the capital of Kazakhstan, and clearly not to "just pack up and take his family." He attends diplomatic receptions as the head of the diplomatic mission, without hiding from anyone," Zakharova outraged.
