Greece will expel two Russian diplomats for the illegal interference in the internal affairs of the country.

Russian officials also tried to bribe local government officials and attempted to collect and disseminate information

However, Greece reportedly wants to preserve relations with Russia.

Diplomatic sources note that Athens’ decision refers exclusively to the actions of these four people, and not to Greece's overall good attitude towards Russia, Gazeta reported quoting Kathimerini.

According to the source, the response measures of Russia will exacerbate the situation.
