NATO member Latvia tells Russian envoy to leave, in solidarity with Estonia

Latvia's foreign minister on Monday said he had told Russia's ambassador to Riga to leave the country by Feb. 24, lowering diplomatic ties with Moscow in an act of solidarity with Estonia.

Russia said on Monday it was downgrading diplomatic relations with NATO member Estonia, accusing it of "total Russophobia", and Tallinn responded by telling Moscow's envoy to the Baltic nation to leave.
