Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin called activities of Russian diplomats in Ukraine «criminal», but the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry will not close the Russian consulates in Ukrainian cities, and in particular in Kharkiv.

Klimkin noted that Russian diplomats in Ukraine «are engaged in activities that are inherent in the activities of the special services», writes UNIAN.
According to minister, consular presence in the Russian Federation is important, since Ukrainian diplomats help political prisoners, other Ukrainians, and even during the war almost 3 million Ukrainians reside in Russia.
