Lithuania to withdraw its ambassador to Russia from June 1

Lithuania will withdraw its ambassador to Russia from June 1, according to a presidential decree signed on Monday. No replacement has been named.

The Baltic country expelled Russia's envoy on April 4.

The Lithuanian government said at that time it intended to lower the level of diplomatic representation between the two countries.
