Novaya Gazeta: Vladimir Putin dismisses Russian ambassadors to Latvia and Estonia
Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed Russia’s ambassadors to Latvia and Estonia, the corresponding orders have been posted on the state law website.
Mikhail Vanin is no longer the Ambassador to Latvia, while Vladimir Lipaev was released from his post in Estonia.

The ministry stated that Estonia’s Ambassador to Russia Margus Laidre was to leave the country by 7 February 2023.
